 Because #BotsInSpace is shutting down (😢) I'm looking for a new home for my bots. I have an RSS feed which posts to BlueSky… So… Welcome @openbenches.org ! (This is an experiment. Feedback welcome. I might try self-hosting. Not sure yet. I don't know how to move followers across.) 3 comments
Thinking about creating a Mastodon instance only for automated accounts. Wouldn't have to deal with replies, following accounts, or anything complicated. I even had a comedy name picked out for it - but someone beat me to it. OK! Want to self-host your own bots now #BotsInSpace is going away? I've made the *simplest* possible server just for you! https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/ Upload two files to your server (index.php and .htaccess), fill in a couple of details, and… that's it! This is designed for write-only bots. It isn't interactive, it won't store or reply to messages sent to it, but it will post hashtags, links, mentions, and images. You can see the sample bot @bot Feedback very welcome! |

Thinking about this further… I would like your advice and wisdom on how I should self-host my many bots.
All one one sub-domain?
@bot1@bots.edent.tel
@bot2@bots.edent.tel
Separate sub-domain for each?
@bot@bot1.edent.tel
@bot@bot2.edent.tel
Buy a new domain for each?
(LOL nope!)
Something else?
(What?)
