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.

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

Arreglado el problemilla del bot.

Resulta que la whitelist de #pythonanywhere *parecía* estar ordenada alfabéticamente... pero resulta que no, que lo está por tramos. Por eso no encontraba un sitio apto pero sin querer hice más scroll... y resulta que comenzaba otro lote enorme de sitios y, entre ellos, #botsin.space que es donde ya vive @siempremorse

Así es que de momento el refrán diario en español y francés en código morse seguirá saliendo en twitter y shora también en mastodon

Every other platform I've been on, the bots are nothing but pests. Tumblr? Porn bots. Twitter? Dumb bots. Here? I just followed two of them ... it's the most genius and hilarious things I've seen all day! #everygay #jobot #botsin.space

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

If there is something else, please reply.

#botsin.space killed my Buzzfeed bot that shared their twitter feed. No explanation. No offer of conversation. I’m not upset about it. Just curious about why. It was fun learning how to program it.
