It would be cool if there was a bot that identified the hashtags people are using to post about the topic of the post on Twitter and Facebook, and made a comment about sharing it under the popular tags on the list.

Pizzabot is totally cool, BTW.

Could you explain the process you are thinking in a few more steps?

The current bot searches for urls. Perhaps a similar one could search for key words or urls of links shared in both a tweet and the post, then pull any hashtags from the tweets into a list in a comment on the post. It could say "People are talking about this topic under #pizzagate #Pedogate #draintheswamp #bringdownthering #littlelivesmatter #savethekids #stopthecoup #deepstate #ItsTime #Vault7 #Podesta #HillaryforPrison #LockHerUp" etc. Instead of hyperlinking to the urls of individual tweets like the current bot does with Voat posts and news references, it could link to the hashtags.

When I get into scraping twitter, I'll try something like that. Thanks for the inputs.
