Good morning y'all

For those that weren't aware, IEMBot from Iowa State has come to the Fediverse officially. I'll leave it up to the bot maintainers whether or not they would rather continue running their own version which many of you are most likely already following.

Either way, the list of the bots maintained on the Fediverse by IA State can be found from the official site here https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/projects/iembot/#bots

I appreciate all the bot maintainers. Thanks for all y'all have done! ❤️🤗

@WXFanatic Don’t get me wrong, BTW: we all truly appreciate the work @akrherz has done to bring another instance of iembot feeds. If our X-perience has a lesson, we need multiple sources for critical information like IEM.

@technodad @WXFanatic @akrherz Is Mr. Herz actually here? If so, maybe he can add some hashtags for searchability?

@ai6yr @technodad @WXFanatic at one time, I added hash tags for iembot on twitter and got a fair amount of pushback, so I am nervous about trying that again.

@akrherz @ai6yr @WXFanatic Different medium, different usage pattern. The combination of federation, no algorithmic suggestions, and the diversity of ways people use feeds makes specific hashtags pretty much essential here.

@technodad @akrherz @ai6yr @WXFanatic Ditto that statement!
