Hello!

I’ve made a simple source bot and named it Soutaku. The account is @saucechan@ani.social. It can be summoned with a mention, either by the author of a post in the post body itself, or anyone in the comments.

Consider this a beta, functionality is extremely simple so there’s not a lot that can go wrong, but I’ve also not done much testing.

Mentions should work reliably, and make the bot respond no matter what. But Soutaku will also attempt to detect posts that do not include source or artist credit, and comment on these automatically.

Only images linked in the post URL currently work, so trying to summon the bot to find the source for images embedded in the post body or in a comment, won’t work. For now.

I have whitelisted Soutaku for the following communities, feel free to contact me if you’d like any additional communities added.

      That’s crazy. I remember subscribing, but I don’t get any posts from them.

        TBF, posts haven’t been frequent recently, but you could start to contribute and bring it alive. You’d be going out to 1.4k subscribers happy to see content again.

          Yeah I noticed they only get posts once a month. I’m preparing on doing the same thing for that community as here. A bunch of content directly related to a single artist, every now and then.
