Shitposting Automation with Linux

I put some effort into my shitpostblog and automated everything. Now collecting memes became my calling. I found my purpose in life. It’s memes.
Here’s the status report.

    Year-old memes are gonna feel stale. You need to also automate the collection of memes.

    Or wait a few years so that “stale” memes become “retro”

      That’s what the different Lanes are for. Timeless memes with no connection to current events and trends go into the basic autoposter. Funny trendy stuff with recent cultural context go into slowlane. Gets posted more often. And The fastlane is for polticial stuff and jokes that will be old tomorrow.

      This is absolutely amazing and all of us in the anime communities appreciate your efforts.

      I hope I speak for all of us when I say thank you.

        My pleasure!

        I’m very happy to have stuck with it. Many communities now have contributors other than me, which has allowed me to discover artists that are new to me in turn.

          And I hope those artists get added to the list for the bot to post as well.

          Either way, just know your efforts are appreciated.

    I’m also using the power of programming to automatically create and submit most of my posts. I was inspired by @[email protected]

    It is a webapp called Moequeue with two main features:

    • Extracting all relevant information from a given URL (Pixiv, Danbooru, …) + adding sauce with Saucenao (+ …) and then running this data through a user-defined template to create the post.
    • Posts can get added to queues which submit them regularly by user-defined cron-expressions.
