Is anyone aware of Mastodon instances that are solo, but with bot accounts just for the solo host account?

I’m thinking about something like A Dave Instance with a local timeline with posting bots for various nuggets, for example, bots with regular posts of:

- My reading list backlog
- Fun small coding ideas I’ve written down
- Healthy reminders (go take a walk)

Pardon the tag @gordon but I think I’m riffing a bit on your line of thinking here

@allafarce years ago I asked Foursquare whether they’d mind if I created a place for every artwork in the MoMA collection / they did / a few years later I asked Twitter whether they would create an account for every object in the Cooper Hewitt collection / they wouldn’t / the other day I realized I could do all these things for SFO Museum with a dedicated Mastodon instance

@thisisaaronland @allafarce I guess I never stopped to think about what the long term parking horse might actually have to say

@david @allafarce maybe not / but what about spanking cat – https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18382391/
Cat and kitten Figure

Gray, black, and white tabby cat standing on hind legs holds an upraised stick above a mewing kitten lying across its knee, as if in the act of spanking.
