Can we create a bot to auto delete posts that don't link properly
If people can't be arsed enough to even get their post format correct, they don't deserve the free promotion.

there is a bot that corrects the links, maybe we should improve that
Yep, feel free to offer suggestion for improvement (or link to false positives, so I can fix that)!
One thing I've noticed is the bot seems to "correct" people who include both the Lemmy-friendly link and the actual URL in their post. I've seen this a few times, although it's possible the posters are editing the posts to add this in response to the bot. It'd be nice if the bot could check for this.
Fyi your bot is apparently trying to "correct" people posting from Mastodon too. Seems like it's replying to every comment that comes through from Mastodon's side. Example: https://lemmy.world/post/1628806
Oooh is the bot on gh?
These are people who want to be mods of communities. If you don't understand the basics of how this platform works, you probably need to spend more time as a regular user before becoming a moderator.

I wish the post rules would also include what to do for kbin.
At the moment if I'm interested in a community I often have to write the url myself.
Also I don't know how to format kbin urls for lemmy users to follow.
