Lemmy Support #169

I did a little private testing, so here's some basic evidence to share showing that the code ostensibly does what it's supposed to do: https://lemmy.world/post/967915 |

Hmm... as of now I'm stalled out on trying to find any Lemmy communities willing to test this bot. Anyone interested in having their community participate should ping me. For now I guess this PR's just going to linger as a draft until I myself find enough free time to drum up a test environment & server from scratch 🤷 |

Good news! The bot is now live on !anime@lemmy.ml. @ajstamps has been collaborating with me to get things spun up and I believe they'll be committing some further polish to this fork as we continue to monitor and tweak the bot over the next few days 🤞 |
This helper function doesn't talk to the instance, so no need to invoke _ensure_connection here.
Whatever baked-in interpolation the logging library has seems to break under weird cases that I can't really figure out how to grok. We have fstrings now anyway so I just switched to using those instead of trying to think too hard about it...
I just realized that lemmy.ml doesn't allow new user signups, so in order to make this bot work with lemmy.ml I needed to add support for bot accounts which belong to a different instance from the main community

Just commenting, but I don't think this line is needed, because of the [reddit] directly below it.
This PR introduces support for running holo against Lemmy communities. The Lemmy backend is mostly at parity with the original reddit backend except for flair support, which I believe Lemmy currently has no equivalent for.
I'm submitting this PR as a draft to start with because it's only been lightly tested and is kind of a hackjob at that (I'm not all that familiar with Python...). Absent any design feedback requiring additional work, my plan is to do about a week of real-world testing & refinement before taking it out of draft status. This timeline may vary depending on how long it takes me to find a community willing to be my guinea pigs -- I am currently petitioning the anime@lemmy.ml community moderators for permission
