IIRC /r/hackernews used to have the bot add a comment with the HN link. (It was a separate comment due to Reddit limitations that do not apply here)

Given that Lemmy allows a post to have both a link and a description, maybe for sources like HN (where discussion takes place on a separate link) the source link should be in the description here?

Just took a look and the problem is simple - I'm not passing the body string to the api call... I swear, I know how to program!

It's okay, we've all been there.

Agreed, that was the intent - haven’t had time to debug why it’s not doing that. The bot should be providing a link to the source when available.

Is there any reason I only see one post on this community, if I visit it through lemmy.world?
