I'm building a Socrates-style fanfic recommendation bot for Discord and I'd love your input.

There was a bot on Discord I used before called Socrates, based on Flipper and I wanted to build something like that. Mine is using data from my fanfiction archive so it won't give proper recommendations until a few users like a few fics. After that it should get better the more it's used.

Link to a Discord channel to use the bot in this server

Telegram group to use the bot
Matrix room to use the bot

What it does

It's a companion bot for that self-hosted archive — think "your own AO3" that can also import/scrape from other sites. The bot gives you fanfic recommendations right in Discord, Socrates-style:

• Recommendations from your reading history — !recs, !fresh, !gems, !roll, with pagination (!next / !prev / !page 3)
• Cross-platform taste: AO3, fanfiction.net, and RoyalRoad are unified into one works model, so your history on one site feeds recommendations across all of them. No "500 favs limit" wall.
• Slash commands for search, quotes, downloads: /search, /ask (ask a question about a fic's content in natural language), /quote, /download (EPUB/MOBI/PDF straight to Discord)
• Library commands: bookmark, rate, kudos, block/unblock, updates on followed fics
• Community stuff: fic requests board, roadmap voting, links back to your web profile

The honest limitation

The recommendation engine learns from what people like on the archive — and right now my site has zero users. So "personalized" recs won't be proper until a few people like a few fics. The more people actually use it, the better it gets. Once there's real taste data to learn from, the recs should beat what you got from Socrates, because it's learning from actual engagement, not just what's popular.

So, what would you want?

If you were going to invite a fanfic bot to your Discord server, what would make you actually use it?

• Recs based on what? (fandoms you're active in, specific pairings, tone/vibe, length?)
• What's the one feature that would make it your default rec source?
• How do you feel about bots that track your reading history and suggest you what to read next vs. ones that give more generic suggestions?
• Anything Socrates used to do that you miss and wish existed elsewhere?

I'm building this solo and want to make something the community actually wants, not just what I think is cool. Fire away.

#Australia’s New South Wales to start #gun #buyback spurred by #Bondi attack
"New South Wales #authorities pledged a suite of #guncontrol #reforms in the wake of the attack, including a buyback scheme.
Albanese said the state’s gun buyback would start on Nov 2, offering cash for eligible handguns, shotguns and rifles."

#tcrno12 Mikko hat übrigens 10-jähriges: "Many riders finished the TCR for the first time; for a few it was a second time; but for one rider, Mikko Mäkipää (044) it was, in fact, a tenth finish. Arriving after 15 days 3 hours and 51 minutes Mikko now has a phenomenal record of 10 TCR starts and 10 General Classification (GC) finishes (the most recent pending confirmation in the official Race results)."

I constantly hear that the Arch Wiki is impressively comprehensive while user friendly.

But yesterday, I experienced it first hand - in a weird little corner - trying to run Arch on my PinePhone.

The documentation for most OSes for PinePhone are sparse, since really only contributing developers are expected to even have their hands on this phone, today.

But the Arch Linux wiki article was robust and guideded me past several possible pitfalls to a successful install.

The hype is real!

Thank you Arch community!

Good news everyone... well, every FPGA nerd: #AMD though it over and added #Linux support back in the basic (aka free of charge) license tier of #Vivado.

It's really good to see when companies roll back stupid ideas. #Kudos!
