    Would you like to run your own Mastodon (ActivityPub) bot and don't know how?

    Try my tool: https://github.com/nekromoff/mastodon-bots

    Easy to install, easy to deploy a bot. And then your bot can do whatever you want - create posts, communicate with people, post images or just sit there doing nothing and being a bot.

      @dusoft Interesting! I have a couple of bots.

      If you don't do "register -> verify -> create app -> add scopes", what do you do? Or are you saying you do it, but more quickly?

        @negative12dollarbill No, my software skips that completely and plugs into ActivityPub directly instead of going via Mastodon. It allows you to host your own instance, creating a new bot takes approx. 20 seconds including filling the bot's name and bio. See the GIF on Github.

          @dusoft Oh I see. The bots run on their own instance. Thank you.

            @negative12dollarbill Yes, it is easier. I needed to run multiple bots and it was tiring manually registering them at mastodon.social (or elsewhere...).

            The best thing is it runs on a shared hosting, so any cheap webhost for $20/year will do.

              @dusoft "Mastodon instance to quickly create and deploy multiple bots (identities) that can be controlled via simple API." why are you calling it a Mastodon instance? its not Mastodon at all...

                @liaizon I call it both, because it works interexchangably.

                    @liaizon Not sure what is against their license.

                    My tool is able to post on ActivityPub and therefore on Mastodon (where my bots are followed by others) and that's why I include it in the description.
