    Thank you for your article but the link is broken. Is the whole platform shut down?
    I am currently using KWatch.io as an alternative to F5Bot for keyword monitoring on Reddit, but I will be happy to hear about other alternatives too!

      You can try syften.com - there is a free trial and it supports more communities (including indie hackers)

        Thank you @akfaew πŸ‘πŸ»

      Sure, f5bot is an excellent tool if you don't mind setting up the keywords rules.

      Segue differentiates itself by using semantics matching instead of lexical keyword rules matching.

      Here is a quick comparison article if you are interested to know more.

        Sure, I was only sharing it because you're subtext said 'Step-by-step tutorial on setting up Reddit keyword monitoring with python and praw' and there's a whole bunch of people that would like to use a free tool that didn't require coding, even if it has differences :)

        'if you don't mind setting up the keywords' is a bit of a weird point, like that's infinitely more efficient than an entire code build.

        Anyway, Segue looks cool πŸ‘

          No problem, thanks Chris! πŸ˜„

          f5bot is a great tool and definitely worth recommending.
