Please stick to English for posts and comments
On reddit, several video game subreddits had the relevant names in brackets, which got parsed and linked to a wiki,...
E.g. Hey, if you want to get [Ability] you have to talk to [Person] at [Place] and fulfill their quest line. Also you'd need to pay 5 [Ressource]
Depending on the search function of BGG, one might even link to categories, mechanisms,...
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.
Do you have an example or a link to a git repo?
I remember u/spirescan-bot for r/slaythespire. It uses double braces, but works this way.
Here's a random old post from the bot about new features where users are testing these: https://www.reddit.com/r/slaythespire/comments/d8t92r/new_bot_features/
The bot comments don't link to its source, but searching the bot username on Google leads to this repository, that looks good at afirst glance. Seems to be a python bot and the source code contains the URL of the Slay The Spire Wiki: https://github.com/painebenjamin/spirescanbot
Thanks! I'll take a look
Check out this awesome bot that was recently built for /r/boardgames :
I don’t mind this kind of bot activity. Saves me from having to go look it up. Just my 2¢
I'm probably in the minority but I am not a fan of bot posts sprinkled into the thread. I am happy with just having the game names Clearly Marked or Manually Linked.
It's easy enough to block a bot though.
I agree with you, but a lot of traffic comes in from mobile and its bit more cumbersome to add the links properly
Like it.
No promises, but gonna see if I can toss something together. Gonna use this a test post.

Looking alright for an MVP. Now just need to prevent duplicate comments, add a bot disclaimer, do a little code cleanup, and remember the password to my server.
Honestly, I'm most concerned about that last item...
Edit: one more test [[Robo Rally]] [[Arkham Horror]]
