This is a bot by @silvermoon82 to bridge the CheerLights project into the Fediverse.

Mention @CheerLights or #CheerLights in a toot that includes a colour name or RGB code, and CheerLights all over the world will all change to that colour!

With the announced shutdown of botsin.space (https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/), we need to find a new home for the CheerLights bot.
Right now, https://mas.to/ seems to be a pretty inviting home for friendly bots; would that cause federation problems for anybody?

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/979764107a8d491a8277b3b0800844c0 is a very rudimentary Apple shortcut to read the current CheerLights color. See @CheerLights for how to set the color. H/T to @silvermoon82 for the Fediverse interface.

The domain is bsky.brid.gy; looks like we don't instance-block it here.

Hey, @muffinista, does botsin.space block the bsky bridge?

No-code LaMetric CheerLights with MQTT

A while ago I wrote a CheerLights app for the LaMetric clock, except that you can’t actually really write apps for it,— you just define a sort of catalogue entry for somewhere the clock is go…

That’s odd, the bot is supposed to follow back automatically.
Anyway, it’s following you now and things should work correctly - give it a try now?

We should be back, but the storm's expected to last a while on & off, so connection might be spotty.

Power is out here, so the bot is offline for a little bit.

The bot will now auto-follow-back, so if you follow the bot it shouldn't miss any of your hashtag posts.
I also went through and followed all existing followers.
The /follow and /unfollow commands still work, if you want to be followed without following the bot yourself.

The way hashtags work on Fedi, this bot should follow you for your #CheerLights posts to be picked up reliably (but a post with a full mention should always work!)
It’s impolite on Fedi for a bot to follow people pre-emptively, so this bot has no auto-follow at all -- even if you follow the bot, it won’t follow you until you send it a message with “/follow”.
Is that too far the other way? Should the bot automatically follow back?
