Starting at 12:30am Eastern US time, the daily threads will be posted by a new bot called LemmyScheduler. The old bot has been pretty stable lately, but it had some downsides. Rebooting meant I had to manually start the bot, and I would often forget. The old bot also didn’t have the ability to pin posts.

The new bot should start automatically even if I reboot the OS, and it will automatically pin the Weekly Questions post. It also has the ability to unpin the post from last week. Scheduling the un-pin is still a manual process, but the dev has said in the future they might add that functionality.

So lets give a warm welcome to our new bot overlord!
