A couple of weeks ago, I posted a thread here asking whether y'all could make use of Decronym the acronym explainer bot, and reaction was positive.

I finally got around to setting up an initial version of the database earlier today, so Decronym is now running; this post links to the current list of 40 or so acronyms that have definitions, based almost entirely on acronyms that been used in the pinned "What do you selfhost" thread.

If I've made glaring errors or omissions, do let me know and the database can be updated. Otherwise, let's see how this thing fares.

Ok that's pretty cool (good bot)

I like that it adds everything into one post instead of replying a dozen times. Good work.

Accessing through kbin.social and the table format is not formatted correctly. Assume this is a kbin-problem, not a bot-problem, as looking at it through sh.itjust.works formats correctly...

And the kbin.social formatting:

I'd suggest adding high availability for HA

[-] Two9A@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Added a second meaning for HA, thanks.

Looks great, thanks! Tiny quibble, Home Assistant is two words.
