Bot to supply telegram channel with hot reddit submissions

reddit2telegram

Hi there!

These bots just send latest hot submissions from subreddit /r/%subreddit% to telegram channel @r_%subreddit% hourly. For example /r/gifs → @r_gifs.

If you want to obtain your own channel for /r/%subreddit%:

1. Create new public telegram channel @r_%subreddit%.
2. Add @reddit2telegram_bot as administrator to this channel.
3. Make a pull request to this repo with new script to make posts (use reddit2telegram/channels/r_funnny/app.py as draft), and the tags related (create a tags.txt containing at least 3 tags, separated by spaces and starting with #).
4. Then I will make it alive :)
5. For any questions do not hesitate to contact me in @r_channels group.

If you appreciate it

This is a pet-project 🐶

Which means you really shouldn't expect much from it. I wrote it over the weekend to solve my own pain. No state-of-art kubernetes bullshit, no architecture patterns, even no tests at all. It's here just to show people what a pet-project might look like.

This code has been written for fun, not for business. There is usually a big difference. Like between riding a bike on the streets and cycling in the wild for fun :)

Running it

Easiest way is to ask for new channel at @r_channels. Or follow the manual as stated above. :)

But if you are geek enough then install mongodb, ffmpeg, python and setup cron:

46 * * * * ~/reddit2telegram/auto_update.sh
* * * * * ~/reddit2telegram/reddit2telegram/cron_job.sh
