In short

How do I track mentions of my brand across Lemmy communities?

WebRun scans Lemmy communities every morning for posts and comments mentioning your brand, logs each one to Google Sheets with a link back to the thread, and sends a weekly roundup to Notion. It never replies on Lemmy itself, so every response to a mention still comes from a real person on your team.

  • Every brand mention across Lemmy lands in one tracked sheet
  • Unanswered threads get called out weekly instead of getting lost
  • No manual searching across dozens of communities and instances

Questions, answered

Does WebRun reply to threads on Lemmy?

No. It only finds and logs mentions. Replying or commenting on any Lemmy thread is left to you.

Does it cover every Lemmy instance?

It searches the communities and instances you point it at, so you control exactly which corners of Lemmy get watched.

How do I know which mentions still need a response?

The weekly Notion roundup calls out any thread that hasn't had a reply yet, so it doesn't get buried in the sheet.

Put this on autopilot.
