What services can be used to automate this?

To create a bot that posts popular videos from your YouTube subscriptions to the right Lemmy community, you can use the YouTube Data API and the Lemmy API. First, you'll need to create a script that fetches videos from your YouTube subscriptions using the YouTube Data API. You can filter the videos based on their popularity (e.g., view count) and use a summarization API similar to YoutubeDigest to generate a summary of the video. Next you have to ask a LLM for the appropriate Lemmy community for the post.

Next, you can use the Lemmy API to interact with Lemmy communities. Once you've found the appropriate community, you can use the Lemmy API to create a post with the title, URL, and summary in a quote block.

Here's a high-level overview of the steps:

  1. Fetch videos from YouTube subscriptions using the YouTube Data API.
  2. Filter videos based on their popularity.
  3. Generate a summary of the video using a summarization API.
  4. Search for the right Lemmy community using the Lemmy API.
  5. Create a post in the Lemmy community with the title, URL, and summary in a quote block.

Keep in mind that you'll need to handle API keys, authentication, and rate limits for both the YouTube Data API and the Lemmy API.
