fact: quoted_post

fact: quoted_post will download the post that is being quoted by your captured post (the one that comes into your feed).

From there, you can access all the same facts as a regular post, if you use the path: option. In the example below, we using the path $.post_author_handle to check if the author of the quoted post is fyodork.bsky.nz. The Auto Moderator will therefore log posts where fyodork.bsky.nz is the original author and someone else has quoted the post.

- name: Quoted Post Author
  conditions:
    all:
      - fact: quoted_post
        path: $.post_author_handle
        operator: equal
        value: fyodork.bsky.nz

  event:
    type: log

fact: replied_parent_post

fact: replied_parent_post looks at a post which has been replied to and logs relevant replies. In the example below, the Auto Moderator will log all replies to posts by Fyodork.

- name: Fyodork Posts with Replies
  conditions:
    all:
      - fact: replied_parent_post

fact: replied_root_post

fact: replied_root_post will look at the top most parent of a post that is in a reply thread. If a down thread reply has been captured by your feed, the Auto Moderator will log the captured post, and look at the original (root) post at the top of the thread. For example, you might want to run a rule which acts on that root post based on how many likes it has.

In the example below, replies that have been captured in the feed will be logged if there are more than 4 likes on the root post at the time of capture.

rules:
- name: Parent Posts Likes
  conditions:
    all:
      - fact: replied_root_post
        path: $.raw_post_view.likeCount
        operator: greaterThan
        value: 4

  event:
    type: log

fact: is_post_in_feed

fact: is_post_in_feed allows you to determine if a given post is already in the feed or not. This could be useful if your feed captures posts and replies, but you don’t want to show the replies in your feed as well if the parent post is already in your feed.

rules:
- name: Remove replies if parent is also in feed
  conditions:
    all:
      - fact: is_post_in_feed
        params:
          uri: reply_root
        operator: equal
        value: true
  event:
    type: hide

fact: is_post_in_feed will return true if the uri passed in params is currently in your feed. Otherwise it will return false. A post’s uri looks like this: at://did:plc:ihzif525llitrzvnb2qtu2t3/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg2g7ua2d22d
