You could actually do this 🤔 the code is available (github.com/avatar42/deepstack/), all you'd need is to screencap the live feed at regular intervals.

I'm not saying I would do it of course, I'm already knee-deep in projects including both fedi- and bot-related ones 😅 cc

Posts like these are done with Buffer.com, but I'd prefer to do this without an external service. Buffer is pretty limited without a paid subscription (max. 10 drafts at the time, no recurring events).

What I want is that at specified dates, a little something (text and picture with alt text) about a particular movie is posted to my Mastodon account. The same post would be repeated a calender year later.

I keep thinking that that should be possible though a connected, public (or + or something?), as some of my old Twitter bots posted from Google Sheets. So far, I haven't been able to find anything.

‎s, help!

I owe a lot of online friendships and learning about computers to twitter bots! I started making them when I was getting into coding from my previous job in architecture, and the community was so welcoming. I guess that eventually led me to friend camp.

there’s a world where we left twitter and only the chattering bots remained, like some Bradbury novel. I like that version

Hmm, that post worked but my phrasing isn't very clear I think.

I'm trying to auto-toot ‍‍‍s on the dates they're set, or on a date that's mentioned in the film. No I didn't steal that idea from a bot that's doing the same; it's based on a LB list I made 2—3 years ago (and that bot's based on a very recent list let loose by LB staff…).

Still looking for the right way to automate this properly.

Does anyone know how to debug a cheapbotsdonequick.com bot? Asking for a fellow botmakers.org member.

Soooo, it's possible to schedule toots with . And I already had an account for my now dormant bird persona, so it's a win-win.

Still would like to understand the proper nerd method, if only to automate recurring posts.
