OK! Want to self-host your own bots now #BotsInSpace is going away?

I've made the *simplest* possible server just for you!

gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

Upload two files to your server (index.php and .htaccess), fill in a couple of details, and… that's it!

This is designed for write-only bots. It isn't interactive, it won't store or reply to messages sent to it, but it will post hashtags, links, mentions, and images.

You can see the sample bot @bot

Feedback very welcome!

A single PHP file which acts as a basic ActivityPub bot server.

Because #BotsInSpace is shutting down (😢) I'm looking for a new home for my bots.

I have an RSS feed which posts to BlueSky…
And I have Bridgy which converts BSky to Fediverse…

So… Welcome @openbenches.org !

(This is an experiment. Feedback welcome. I might try self-hosting. Not sure yet. I don't know how to move followers across.)
