I have updated some dependencies and refactored the posting mechanism, now the bot should correctly post to Lemmy. Previously Reddit's RSS was broken, then the lemmy Python dependencies became outdated, which caused the bot to be out of commissuion for a while.

As always, if you don't need the bot, then the bot doesn't need you, feel free to block it.

Awesome, thanks! I wish I had the technical knowledge to help.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Huzzah! Glad to see it was fixed. Now my money can safely leave my wallet, lol.

Thanks for the awesome work! Curious, how did you get around the GitHub Actions IP banning issue? Are you using a different CI?

[–] Poutinetown@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

It probably has been unbanned or something. There's no guarantee it will remain this way though (as on some wifi network reddit is still inaccessible).
