In theory there's an API that can be used, but it's not documented anywhere. Someone tried to run a bot but it just didn't work and we didn't have time to figure out why.

We do have an outstanding task for solving autoposting, and in fact I'm going to bump that up in priority to save @naraburns from doing this manually forever. The big issue is that it needs to reliably post exactly once when appropriate, and getting that to happen is a little bit tricky.

The good news is that it doesn't need a good UI - I'm completely fine if the config is, like, an XML file that I have to manually tweak and then restart the bot. So that makes it easier.

If you want to join the dev discord you're welcome to come chat about it, I'd love for this to get handled :)
