GitHub - Asudox/lemmy-wikibot-rs: A lemmy bot written in Rust to send summaries of wikipedia articles mentioned in user comments (github.com)

I made this bot so that users who want to provide a quick summary of the wikipedia article they linked to in their comment can do so just by including a mention of the bot in their comment, and the bot will reply to the comment with the summary.

Currently multiple wikipedia links are not supported.

Well, that wasn't something I have planned. For now, you can just take the wikipedia link from that parent comment, mention the bot with it and send it as a comment. Will implement that feature, thanks.
