Hello,
I have joined to @sndbox this month. I am very excited to be a part of this community.
However, one thing I didn't do well yet -due to my limited time lately- exploring the people in the @sndbox. Today, I have decided to explore the fellows.
I had a couple choices for this exploration.
- Explore the tag and people via sndbox tag.
This list may include the people expecting a sndbox vote by just tagging it.
- Read our internal post-promotion channel till the beginning.
Hard to keep state. Considering Slack's interface.
- Write a script fetches the last sndbox votes and their authors. Make sure the post has the tag #sndbox.
Being a code monkey is hard, you end up writing small scripts for that kind of scenarios. And of course, I have chosen the last option.
Planning
- Follow @sndbox account's latest operations
- Filter them by votes
- Skip self-votes.
- Skip the posts do not have a @sndbox tag.
- Get the list!
While I was doing that, I was informed that I can get the same list via follow list of sndbox. Sometimes, I have lose faith in me. I fail to see simple answers but since we have started something, let's finish it gently.
My latest post on "steem-python for dummies" series includes a small script to monitor specific accounts' movements in the network. Let's use that code and change a little bit:
Which results like this:
But this doesn't add much value to my cause yet. Maybe, following them automatically can ease my exploring mission today.
my_acc = Account('emrebeyler', Steem(keys=["wif"]))
following = list(my_acc.get_following())
for author in authors:
if author in following:
print("Skipped. Already following that user. %s" % author)
continue
if author == 'emrebeyler':
continue
s.commit.follow(author, account='emrebeyler')
print("Following %s" % author)
Done. All set. All followed. I am out to explore my new feed.
