Instapy: Requesting feature! really simple but affective

[supmag]

Expected Behavior

Randomise custom comments efficiently

Current Behavior

currently no mater how many comments you type in the feature it will most likley use the same comment up to 5 times before using a new one

Possible Solution (optional)

Make it so it doesnt use the same comment that was posted before to fast...this way we can make a list of 40-50 custom comments without being afraid of being shadow ban...which has happened to me on multiple occasions using the commenting feature

InstaPy configuration

It doesn't really matter what you comment, it matters how you comment.
Like real people mostly comment with heart emoji, and its not being considered as spam.

Anyways, can do.

The commenting feature brings in massive engagement more than liking or following...if you are really smart about what you say targeted towards the niche...it works like a charm

Agreed, but here we speak about posting the same comment twice. You will be fine with the current functionality as long as you won't post same comment twice to the same person. It really depends on how big is your target group. If it's big enough (and it should be) to not hit the same person twice it's fine. Otherwise the feature you requested could be useful.

@pompex,
Multi-commenting a content on the same user is really disturbing, I've had this in mind to solve, I will look again if gets free time.
I mean it's not a problem for @supmag's idea which is also great and easy to do (_and must be done_) but I had something more exiciting in mind:
Well sometimes we can't write down hundreds of unique comments but we can generate unique emoji sets for the same content, so it would look alright xD
"_This is a comment👍🏆_"
"_This is a comment👌👌👌👌📸_"
"_🤸‍♂️This is a comment_"
"_This is a 🖐👆😎☕comment💯_"

• kind of unique emoji generator, also we can add mood parameter to set emojis for that, e.g.(mood='sad' or mood='chill')

That idea will work on all not-too specific comments.
_What do you say?_

[lvkins]

Comment customization is a good idea. I'd say, anything that would help make a bot to behave more natural is a good thing in general.

The idea you provided is fairly simple and can be done within the configuration file so you don't have to dive into the InstaPy files, for example:

from random import choice
from random import randint

emojis = ['😀', '💪', '👌', '😌', '👽']
emojisCount = 1, 5 # Min, max
comments = [
  'My comment {}',
  'My {} comment'
]

parsed = [_.format(choice(emojis) * randint(*emojisCount)) for _ in comments]

session.set_comments(parsed)

See: https://repl.it/repls/WoefulMundaneAggregators

For each run, you will be having unique comments with random emojis.

@pompex,
that's right, but I want to implement it inside commenting engine and all we would do is just set a parameter rather than choosing emojis each time, randomizing them,,... not many people can do that manually from quickstarts..
e.g.,

set_comments(comments=['Nice pic'], eomjize=True, emojizing_mood='cool', media='Photo')

_anyways, guys I don't think it's a good idea cos lots of my comments are a bit specific_
good luck!

[supmag]

I think someone misunderstood, the bot is likely to post the same comment more than a few times...not on the same user but in general...emoji comments are a bit useless as they don't really bring in that much engagement.

I want to make a huge list of custom comments and for the bot to randomize it so that it knows no tto post the comment it just posted again for a while...

[supmag]

I'm ripping my hair out, Ive tried everything almost and its still giving me this error

Try to add this function to Your quickstart.py:

def generate_comments_from_patterns(patterns=None,amount=10):
    rendered_comments = []
    build_comment = ""
    patterns = patterns or []

    for i in range(amount):
        random_patterns_table_index = random.randint(0, (len(patterns) - 1))
        selected_pattern = patterns[random_patterns_table_index]
        for row in selected_pattern:
            build_comment += row[random.randint(0, (len(row) - 1))]
        rendered_comments.append(build_comment)
        build_comment = ""

    return rendered_comments

Then use it within ".set_comments" function like this:
session.set_comments(generate_comments_from_patterns(patterns=comment_patterns, amount=30))

From now on You just need to add array with comments under username / password declaration:
comment_patterns = [ [ ["That's ", "It's "], ['beautiful', 'brilliant', 'epic', 'perfect', 'great', 'good', 'cool', 'amazing', 'magnificent', 'magical', 'lovely', 'glorious', 'excellent', 'masterful', 'unique'], [' @{}'], ['.', '!', '! :smile:', ' :satisfied:', ' :blush:', ' :smile:', ' :wink:', ' :yum:'] ], [ ['Like it :stuck_out_tongue:', 'I like it', 'Good work! :open_mouth:', ':heart:'] ] ]
