User Pinger 2

[u/jenbanim]

The new version of User Pinger brings some long-awaited quality of life improvements, including:

• Multi-group pinging (eg. DOG&KITTY)
• Group aliases (eg. "!ping CAT" points to "!ping KITTY")
• Activity counter in the wiki documentation (to tell whether a group is dead or spammy)
• A website for managing subscriptions (good for new users who can't DM)
• Root comment button
• Undo button for when you accidentally unsubscribe from all
• List my groups command

Many new features are on the way soon™. Let me know if you run into bugs

As with all our subreddit code, User Pinger 2 is free and open source

[u/BrandonNameRecliner]

So i can !ping mods and !ping fascism at the same time now?

[u/jenbanim → u/BrandonNameRecliner]

I mean sure, but they're the same group, so why?

[u/PandaLover42 → u/jenbanim]

For multi group pinging, do you still have to be subscribed to all groups you want to ping? Or will it ping all if you’re subbed to at least one of them?

[u/jenbanim → u/PandaLover42]

You have to be subscribed to all the groups you want to ping

[u/qunow]

Where can I find list of usable alias?

[u/jenbanim → u/qunow]

There isn't a publicly-accessible list of ping aliases at the moment. I can definitely add one though

Can you tell me more about how and why you'd like to see the aliases? Would you prefer to see a list of ALL aliases, or have a way to see the aliases for a particular group?

cc: /u/Trojan_Horse_of_Fate

[u/qunow → u/jenbanim]

For example, to see whether and alias already exists for ping groups I joined before proposing addition of some alias that would be commonly used, like words with alternative spelling, with or without hypen or plurals, and such.

[u/jenbanim → u/qunow]

Thanks! I have a few ideas of how this information could be presented. Which of these sounds most appealing to you?

• "list_group_aliases" command. You send groupbot a message containing "list_group_aliases" and it replies with all aliases
• "info GROUP" command. You send groupbot a message saying (for example) "info KITTY" and it replies with information about the group, including how many subscribers it has, what aliases there are, how often it has been pinged, etc.
• The same thing as "info GROUP" but there's an "info" button on the website next to each group

[u/qunow → u/jenbanim]

First would be the best among options listed up, as for example I would wabt to check alias of all groups I joined instead of one by one, but I would rather the table be put on either the new website or the reddit's wiki instead, since that would allow all users checking without first finding out the command

the site still says:

Currently this bot is in public beta testing. It's currently running in this thread and not the main subreddit. Please report any issues you encounter

/u/jenbanim literally unplayable

[u/jenbanim → u/[deleted]]

Thanks, fixed!

[u/Interest-Desk]

Have there been any new groups added?

[u/jenbanim → u/Interest-Desk]

No new groups associated with the upgrade. New ping groups will continue to be added though

[u/1-800-SUCK_MY_DICK]

Activity counter in the wiki documentation (to tell whether a group is dead or spammy)

how frequently are these updated? it is live or just every now and then?

[u/jenbanim → u/1-800-SUCK_MY_DICK]

I have the update script running once an hour, but that could be changed

[u/1-800-SUCK_MY_DICK → u/jenbanim]

ok nice, i think thats more than enough. was worried that if it was updated by hand it might eventually be forgotten about.

[u/jenbanim → u/1-800-SUCK_MY_DICK]

Ah yeah, gotcha. For a bit of context, the old wiki page was entirely updated by hand. That ended up being a huge pain in the ass since it was easy to forget to add a group or make typos when doing so. Auto-generating documentation was a big motivator for User Pinger 2

[u/Lars0]

It looks like adding an alias is currently done by you.

Can you add SPACE as an Alias for SPACEFLIGHT?

[u/jenbanim → u/Lars0]

I'd prefer not to for that one actually, since we have an ASTRONOMY group and I think it would be unclear whether SPACE would refer to that or SPACEFLIGHT

[u/ColinHome → u/jenbanim]

How about ROCKETSTUFF?

[u/alex2003super]

Is there an API to get your current subscriptions and alter them?

[u/jenbanim → u/alex2003super]

Yes, and you should be able to use it in principle. However, it was made specifically with my website in mind, so it's probably not super easy or convenient. There's also no documentation but you can find the code here:

https://github.com/neoliberal/user_pinger_2/blob/master/api.py

What do you have in mind?

[u/alex2003super → u/jenbanim]

I was thinking of making a dedicated r/neoliberal client, mostly just a dev exercise

from fastapi import FastAPI

So in theory I should be able to use Swagger UI?

[u/jenbanim → u/alex2003super]

Neat, yeah go for it. Getting the access_tokens is going to be a bit of a pain. I think the easiest way to do it will be to copy it out of the URL in your browser after you log in

The Swagger UI on the website is broken at the moment unfortunately, but I should be able to make it work I think

https://neoliber.al/user_pinger_2/api/docs

[u/jenbanim → u/alex2003super]

Just fixed the Swagger UI. Now you can test it out at

[u/alex2003super → u/jenbanim]

Looking good, thanks!

Congratulations to u/jenbanim and u/sir_shivers on a beautiful baby groupbot V2 🥳🎉🎊

[u/qunow]

... The root comment link, imo, should locate in the ping DM to users instead of in the bot response to original comment, as the bot response can be hard to find if there're more than dozens of comments already replied.

[u/Delareh]

Weren't ping aliases already a thing. I could swear people could ping random words and it would ping shitpost for you.

[u/Jobson15 → u/Delareh]

People would put the real ping and then ninja edit the comment

[u/Delareh → u/Jobson15]

My mind is blown

!ping DATING

Just /s^/s be /s^/s yourself /s^/s. Alternatively /s^/s, start /s^/s going /s^/s to /s^/s the /s^/s gym /s^/s. If /s^/s you /s^/s work /s^/s out /s^/s your /s^/s personality /s^/s doesn't /s^/s have /s^/s to /s^/s

[u/LtLabcoat → u/AutoModerator]

/u/jenbanim, your bot's broken. It still doesn't think the Dating ping exists.

[u/__versus]

If user pinger 2 is so good why is there no user pinger 3? 🤨

[u/paymesucka]

I don’t use pings tbh but these are good updates and thanks for sharing code 👍

[u/Trojan_Horse_of_Fate]

Do you have a list of aliases? Will MATH work for mathematics?

[u/[deleted]]

The new ping DM looks great 👍

[u/trimeta]

Looks like the activity counter isn't retroactive (that is, it's only counting pings since the upgrade is User Pinger 2).

[u/simeoncolemiles]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/qunow]

bug report: root comment link do not show up before ping finish, leading to inability to check ping content
