The vast majority of the automated accounts that I follow are on the botsin.space instance.
But I'm always wondering if there's something else to follow, and I can't seem to find a way to list the #bots available.
Does #botsinspace have a way to provide a list of its bots?
my crappy bot from the bird app is now on fediverse! follow for daily words of wisdom and relatable lyrics βΊοΈ thanks to all talented folks for making this happen my crappy bot has found a new home β€οΈ #creativebots #botsinspace #botsofmastodon

The accidental juxtaposition of some fun bots I follow can be just hilarious π . #bots #botwiki #botsinspace
@botwiki
I've only discovered these accounts here, never saw them on twitter! Boy was I missing out.
A great little moment of fun at times.
Hello! This is the @hourlykitten technical lead. It looks like the bot is running on a machine that is on a blocklist for #botsinspace. I don't know why, and I can't fix it by myself. If anyone knows who I should talk to, please forward this message!
My Geology Fieldwork Bot is now available on Mastodon! @GeoFieldBot

@botwiki Thanks for all you are doing: I reached out to the admin on #Botsinspace but if there are other places we should post this link to get the word out to Twitter API developers, LMK!
I'm trying to move my Geology Fieldwork Bot over here. Does anyone have any tips for setting up a bot on Mastodon? I tried to use #BotsInSpace but I must have done something wrong because my application was denied. What other bot friendly servers are there that don't have a complicated registration process? Are bots allowed on this server (mas.to)?

I've been hanging on a thread at the other place, but banning bots is what broke the minimal utility I found.

#botALLY friends, maybe you can help.
I'd like to make a bot that posts a particular film title (plus poster if possible) on a particular date.
For example, the Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much takes place on March 21. Every year, on March 21, I want my bot to post a set text, the film title, and the poster (not a preview, an actual picture).
I have created a personal calender in #iCal and hoped to iCal > #RSS > Mastodon, but so far no joy.
Would this work in #GoogleCalender (trying to avoid Google for reasons), or is there a niftier solution that cuts out the RSS step? I don't want to crosspost from Twitter, though I'm sure that that is the easiest solution that allows the artwork to show up.
Note: I think @calendar_social's tech may be a solution but I don't think I'd work without running my own server.

Many thanks to @muffinista for running the instance, which provides a home for many other helpful projects in addition to this account.
Hey, #bot #devs, on which #instances would I be able to make a bot that posts periodically every 10-60 minutes? (any within that time range is fine). I already have one in #botsinspace and I prefer using only one browser to manage everything.
Tried #hackydermio but found out they had a limit on post frequency.
Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions on what Mastodon instance to create a #bot account? #botsinspace seems not to accept new applications. Or at least simply delete new registrations. π€·ββοΈ
I was finally able to make a bot that I've been thinking about for years.
The idea is it'll post every day and the board will change as people vote on what to place. Go check it out! π€π
Dear Everybody at .botsinspace:
Every hour is TOO OFTEN. Back off, save your content! #mastodon #botsinspace
I very much enjoy the bots over at botsin.space, but oh how I wish the bot devs would introduce a random 5 to 10 minute jitter in their cycle. It's kinda ridiculous how every bot always posts sharp on the hour; be it once every hour, 3 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours, there's always a little flood of bot posts once the hour changes.
