Reddit → Discord Bot
To help GamePress writers monitor community feedback, I built a Discord bot that scanned key subreddits for mentions of the company and forwarded relevant posts to internal staff channels. This helped the team quickly catch and resolve site issues, and it boosted morale by surfacing positive comments and recommendations from users on Reddit.
I developed the bot in 2018 using the (then free) PushShift API. It ran continuously for five years until Reddit’s API changes in 2023 ended access to PushShift. After retiring the project, I scrubbed all sensitive data and archived the code on GitHub as a snapshot of a fun and impactful tool I made to support our editorial team. Note that I wrote this very early into my career, so the code is a bit messy. That said, it ran reliably for 5 years and served its purpose well.
The code for the bot can be found here.
