   Highly recommend for anyone to monitor keywords

   I use it every day. F5Bot is amazing at notifying for specific keywords. The only downside is that it doesn't have context around your keywords, so you will get more emails with keywords than expected. It really depends on your keywords and how you monitor them. Overall it's a high quality monitoring service.

   👍 Pros:    Free to use|High quality|Reliable

   Pretty useful little tool for catching reddit mentions :)

   Easy to setup and forget, would definitely recommend

   F5Bot is awesome. Compared to similar services, it delivers notifications in nearly real-time. I get notified about online discussions mentioning my product as they happen, not a day later.

• What scripts have you built to stand up a new server?

  Thanks, will take a look at that curl thing. We are still using this and been working for us for ~15 years (python 2, ported to python 3) and this is just an example of how to take https://fabfile.org to the extreme but still is not the best way to do it. We only ~50 servers so it is not a massive fleet. The convenience of typing `fab ` to do things under control is still better than nothing :). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Good tool for automatic setup and deployment of Django projects

  I've used Rake and Fabric for somewhat similar (but less ambitious) stuff in the past and I'm thinking that Fabric might be a pretty good fit for this task as well, but I'd still like your input. Are there other tools I should look into? I've heard goodthings about Puppet but just looking at their site (it contains the word Enterprise ) gives me the feeling that it might be overkill for a one man operation. Source: about 4 years ago

• 10 Best Google Alerts Alternatives in 2026 (Free and Paid)

  F5Bot does one thing well: it monitors Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters for your keywords, then emails you within minutes. This is a blind spot for both Google Alerts and most social listening tools. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2025)

  Hmm any plans on integrating it with Discord instead of Slack? Also, aware of https://f5bot.com/? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• SEO tools I used to grow my sites to 20k+ visitors/month

  The pitch for f5bot is simple - as they say, it is a service that will help you to "Get an email when you're mentioned online!". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• How to Successfully Promote and Market an API

  Sign up for F5Bot and set up keyword monitoring for your Problem space across Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters. For example, if you're building a payments API, setup monitoring on "Payments API", "Stripe", "payments via API", "API for Payments", and anything else your buyer might be searching for. Don't be overly pushy when replying to these threads. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
