I was starting to do this but have run into walls trying to get Docker to work and editing the files to configure it.
You can find existing bots on github that just need a text file changed with the login details for the bot, where to post, and what to post. You can even tell it to pin a post and how long for.

https://github.com/arcuru/lemmy-rss-bot
https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot
