I’ve just had this idea. Why don’t we create a bot that scans comments and replies to them with boardgamegeek links for every game found in the comment?

To simplify the implementation I would be favourable to introduce some sort of syntax to make unambiguous whether or not some words are a game name or not.

What do you think about this idea?

    This is even better than what I was thinking. I wonder if Lemmy APIs allows it tho.

      I am not opposed to the idea. If you need my support as the mod, please feel free to reach out

        Good to know that you’re not contrary, however, I just wanted to bring an idea to the attention of the community. Right now I have neither the time nor the knowledge to do such a thing.

          I guess the entire foundation thing is taking its toll.

          But if there is someone willing to make such a mod, I am all for helping where I can.
