#botsin — Public Fediverse posts

Does anyone else use #botsin.space to host a Mastodon Bot? It seems to have stopped working as of 24th Dec 2024.

«As you may have read, #BotsIn.Space is closing down, I have lots of automated #bot accounts living on the #Fediverse - and I want them to continue posting. Installing and maintaining an entire Mastodon instance sounds like hard work.

»I write my own #ActivityPub server? Why, yes! Yes I did!

»I took the code and stripped it down to the bare essentials. All you need to do is upload two files- index.php and .htaccess - fill in your details, and you're done.»

Welcome to my new home.

#migration #botsin.space

@oblique_strategies i’m afraid of #botsin.space going away :(

Hi all. Non-coder here. I tried in vain to figure out how to use #Feed2Toot to send #RSS feeds to a bot account on #botsin.space. (Disclosure: I'm an ambitious fool and owning it)

Tried a self-crash course in #Python. Got the gist, got #Feed2Toot partly installed but couldn't register it. Plus #botsin.space hasn't replied to my request to create a bot account.

Any "for dummies" guidance out there? Pro tips? Mocking laughter? Or is straight-up learning #Python the only way to get it done?

So are pretty much all Mastodon bots in the botsin.space instance?

Is is considered best practice to register your bot there?

I am thinking about setting up some Mastodon #bots to toot posting from #RSS or #Atom #feeds at #botsin.space. I identified two bot #software that look to fulfill what I want, but which one is preferred or better? #feed2toot or #MastoRSS
