Liker

Liker is a Telegram bot that allows you to add reactions (likes, etc.) to channel posts. Liker also supports post comments.

How to use Liker

You can either use an existing Liker bot available at https://t.me/liker10_bot. In order to do that:

1. Give Liker bot an admin permission to edit posts in your channel.

2. If you have a discussion group (e.g. post comments) — add Liker to the group also.

3. In order to customize reactions (👍 is a default reaction) send the following command to Liker in Telegram:

/set_reactions —channel_id [YOUR_CHANNEL_ID] —reactions [SPACE_SEPARATED_REACTIONS]

For example:

/set_reactions —channel_id @awesome_channel —reactions 👍 ❤ 😡

Build liker from sources

To build your own version of Liker:

1. Download the source code

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/luckybots/liker.git

If you don't add --recurse-submodules -- you'll get an error during make build (make: *** No rule to make target 'build')

2. Create and customize data/config.json according to data/config_example.json. In the config.json provide bot_token value.

3. To run with Docker use

make build
make run-it
