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

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

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?
