This is a community where you can announce and post about any new thing that integrates to the lemmy API. Lemmy bots, scripts which use lemmy data for any purpose, bridges to other services, and even apps if you want.
The idea is to have a catch-all for anything which uses the Lemmy API.
The reason I felt I had to start it is because I crossposted my recent announcement about the @aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com bot [to !lemmy@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13214442) and the mods over there, in all their wisdom, decided that a lemmy bot is not relevant to lemmy ๐. Unfortunately the other available communities like !fediverse or !lemmyapps don't quite fit a bot announcement either. So I decided to make something fitting!
Great idea, we really needed a more specific community. Usually any time I build something I post it to !fediverse@lemmy.world , but the scope of that community is so broad it sometimes feels out of place. Plus, as an instance admin I feel it will probably be convenient having a single community to consult for all the extensions and integrations we might want to opt our instances in.
Exactly. This community can be used more liberally, for updates and announcements as well.
