Got it, yes, I think having the bot subscribe to communities is a good way to solve this, and how I’ve seen it done. Basically users can message the bot with “subscribe <community url>”, the bot periodically checks its DMs, subscribes to the Communities and starts monitoring/processing them.
You can add a small footnote to each message, telling them about your instance, so you also get “free publicity” 😉
Looks cool! Do I need to specifically add it to a community, or are you scanning all comments on Lemmy.world?
This is the way
Look at the sidebar on the main page

Whoever made this is a god damn genius!
I laughed, I cried, but most importantly fuck u/spez ✊
