  There should be a bot.

  Actually, do you want me to make a bot? It wouldn’t be hard.

    There used to be one - https://lemmings.world/u/communitylinkfixer

    It looks like it was de-activated 3 months ago.

    If you make a new one, please consider limiting it to just this community (and maybe communitypromo), and to not translating a link if the OP has also already provided a ! one, and to not translating links inside code blocks.

    Drive-by bots can seem easy to make, but the problem is that they can be a bit too easy, and then end up as yet another annoying one.

    That would be nice

    I’m not sure, how would that even work if they haven’t provided the link?

      If they link directly to {instance}/c/{community} but not to !{community}@{instance} it can chime in with that second thing.

      Most people link to something, but they don’t always link to the thing that works everywhere.

        Well sure, I can’t compensate you but if you wanted to do that I’d let it do it’s thing.
