How about a featured daily image from #Wikipedia in your feed to make it nicer?
#wikimedia #commons #openSource #opendata #featured #daily #today #til #fediverse #tip #tips #activityPub #mastodon #bot #photo #photography
@dusoft Nice!
Would you be interested in submitting this, and any other bots you've made to Botwiki?
@botwiki I would, if the process would be automated, e.g. too many details are needed that are already available on ActivityPub for each bot. If I could just submit handles and your system pull the data, that would work for me.
I have now 8 bots. Imagine how much time it would take me.
@dusoft That's a great idea!
Something close to this already exists, but it was created with botsin.space, or rather Mastodon in mind.
https://botwiki.org/projects/submit-to-botwiki-bookmarklets/
I just tried the bookmarklet and it works when I visit https://mastodon.social/@wikipediatoda[email protected], or in your case, that would be https://fosstodon.org/@wikipediatoday@bots.ambience.sk.
But not when I view the profile directly.
Let me look into how the process can be improved. Thank you for the suggestion!
@dusoft Also, just to add, I have made almost 80, so trust me. I know the pain!
@dusoft Ha, pretty much!
But hey, people enjoy these, and that keeps me going!
@botwiki Yeah, it's good, I also follow some (not mine) and enjoy their content.
Where do you source your content, APIs or scraping or else?
@dusoft All over the place!
Mostly API (Wikipedia/Wikidata, Archive.org), live webcams. There's some random stuff, like @emoji__polls, too.
And one of my personal favorites, @dedication_bot, wasn't my idea at all. I worked with someone to get their personal collection posted online.
@dusoft You might also want to stop by https://botmakers.org!
It's a bit quieter, after 10 years, but still a nice and cozy place to hang out!
@botwiki @emoji__polls @dedication_bot weird, my reply was shown twice and then both dissappeared after deleting one.
Anyway, I'll check your bots, so I don't cover the same stuff.
@dusoft Ah, odd!
Yeah, my reply is still here: https://mastodon.social/@botwiki/116302662265785773
