I want to create a giveaway community on Lemmy. Is there anything like RedditRaffer for Lemmy. Thanks

None that I'm currently aware of

There is random.org which could work in the meantime

Some thoughts

  • since there can be federation issues, having a bot confirm entries would be helpful. For example, replying to every comment, sending a DM, or having a public list of usernames somewhere

Yea, It would be great.

The source code for keyshare.link is out there and it does exactly what you talk about, but using reddit user access. Maybe someone could work within the license to code a similar tool for Lemmy users.

https://github.com/redditraffler/redditraffler is also open source but I am not familiar with this tech stack.
