#followbot — Public Fediverse posts

Searching for @followbot at my Profile Seach, I get:

"Followbot

@followbot

Personal note
This bot is used to improve federation of my instance.

Feel free to follow back, I won't post anything.

I should be respecting #nobot if it's in your bio."

If this concerns you, #Mute and #Block

Personally I have no interests in building a bot's (and its owner's) Following account stats

Why can't the owner just Follow profiles organically like every one else?

#Followbot #Bots #Follows #Mastodon

This is better than how the "proxy account" in #Misskey / #Sharkey does its #followbot thing actually, which AFAIK doesn't discriminate on who to follow as long as someone in the instance has added them to the list (even if a local user is already following them, and I thought the follow bot will not bother following in that case but I guess I'm wrong)

I think our -key follow bots can learn a thing or two from #Awakari. ​:seija_coffee:​

Hey #fediverse, does anyone know if a.gup.pe and chirp.social has some sort of #API which lists all groups in it? I've just thought of an idea to make this #GoToSocial instance I manage federate even more instances than just 600+ servers, which is to #massfollow them all with a #followbot. Yeah it's a really bad thing to use against normal instances (it's gonna annoy humans behind the accounts), but it shouldn't be a problem if I just follow group accounts, right? ​:sagume_think:​

I'm gonna also try mass following every community in #Lemmy and #kbin as well.

Thanks!
