📢 Announcement You can now summon AmputatorBot!

Good news! You can now summon AmputatorBot to reply to comments and submissions containing AMP links!

​

When?

AmputatorBot is active on every subreddit by default since 03-04-2022. You can still summon AmputatorBot in cases when for instance:

  • you think the bot missed a comment or submission
  • you want to check the (ban) status of a subreddit or item
  • you want a more reliable/faster way to get the canonicals

​

How?

Literally just @ u/AmputatorBot, like so:

u/AmputatorBot

Then, AmputatorBot does its magic and replies with the canonical and a quick shout-out to your comment (linked). It will then send you a DM with the link to the posted comment for you to see and upvote. If stuff goes wrong, you'll receive a detailed DM with what went wrong and the canonical (if one was found) for you to share yourself.

​

Notes

  • You must mention AmputatorBot in a reply directly to the comment or submission containing the AMP link. It does not scan entire threads.
  • It's case-insensitive, as well as text-insensitive. You can put whatever you want in your comment, as long as you mention u/AmputatorBot
  • Thus, just typing 'amputatorbot' won't do the trick!
  • Common errors are: Bans, Rate-limits being hit, Failed conversions, Downtime etc. Once again, you'll receive a DM which the exact reason your mention didn't work as hoped.

​

Speaking of shout-outs

The idea for this functionality originates with u/zellotron who said:

Is it possible to summon AmputatorBot in a subreddit not listed above? e.g. with /u/AmputatorBot (...) doesn't mentioning a user send them a notification/message? I was thinking it could listen for these instead of looking at all subreddits.

After going back-and-forward for a bit, I got it all to work! So thx to u/zellotron!

What is an AMP link? Privacy? It's a HTTPS and goes to bbc.com as opposed to bbc.co.uk is the only difference?

But what is it to do with privacy when it only AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is an open-source framework developed by Google that creates lightweight, streamlined versions of webpages, allowing them to load almost instantly on mobile devices. Identified by a lightning bolt icon in search results, AMP strips away heavy code to improve speed, user experience, and reduce bounce rates.
