Best way to create a bot for Lemmy?

I'm a moderator in one of the Lemmy communities and want to set up a bot to post a message every day. I only found this; is that the best way? I'm a developer, so I'm confident I can set it up on a locally hosted server, but then other moderators won't be able to edit it. Is there a better way to do this?

Is this for a single community? Maybe you can host a simple password-protected site where the moderators can modify the message.

@fossilesque@mander.xyz is developing a plant id bot for !plantid@mander.xyz, perhaps they can explain to you how they are doing that.

Yeah, happy to share the code. It's python + docker. You'll probably be able to just simply it!
