View full threadterrific! verifying your account was easy because of your domain
- can you ask your team members to email verify@bikesky.social and mention their bluesky username and that they’d like the Bike Network Planner label? it would be great if the email came from the same domain but if that’s not possible we can figure it out

- hey bike enjoyers - we just launched a fun new way to get #Bikesky labels! our labeler now has a bot that will help you get labels when you ask for them to get a label, just make a post that says: @labeler.bikesky.social label
- [Not loaded yet]
- no worries. here’s a little explainer thread with examples: bsky.app/profile/labe...

- what did the horse mean by this
- you can see all the commands that the labeler will respond to by sending it a message that says: @labeler.bikesky.social listcommands it only has label & unlabel for now, but we'll be adding more soon :)
- we want to offer this up to any other communities that are running labelers like ours, so we're open sourcing the code that is running it you can get this as an npm package or a docker container right now here's the github: github.com/bikesky-soci...
- the bot will walk you through the process of getting a label. you can see an example of what that looks like in this thread:
- if you ever want to change or remove labels, you can do that by making a post that says: @labeler.bikesky.social unlabel
