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

@Edent is it mandatory to expose replies?

@Disputatore no. But the data is still on your server whether you like it or not.
If you're happy with that risk, feel free to fork it.

Update!
You can now move followers from your old bot accounts to your new self-hosted ones.
So now @[email protected] points at @[email protected] - and all the followers have moved!
Source code at https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

@owenblacker Yup! A single domain per "instance".
Subdomains are free -
OK! My self-hosted ActivityPub Bot works with a few hundred followers.
I'm going to try and move @colours which has over 1,000 followers (WHY?!?!) and see if it copes with that.
All the code's at https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
-
Hmmm. About 1,000 followers have moved over to the new account - @colours
I can see my messages being sent. But they don't seem to be received. Not entirely sure what's going on and am half a bottle of Malbec into the evening, so probably shouldn't be futzing around with code.
One for the morning, I fear!

@Edent Iβm delighted to see you added the move support. Do you think doing the reverse is also feasible, so if the experiment fails it doesnβt become the Hotel California?

@jochie I suspect so
Please raise an issue on the repo so I don't forget. -

OK. What is going on here?
A bunch of people can see the posts sent out by @colours - but lots of people can't.
As far as I can see, Mastodon.social isn't sending me back an HTTP response when I send to a shared inbox. But other Mastodon-based servers happily accept it.
Here are the headers

-
@Edent If it helps, I canβt see posts from it and Iβm on mstdn.social which I think is the same admins?
-
@jackmcconnell I'm wondering if my cURL Multi Handle has gone wrong somewhere?
-
Hmmm. My cURL Multi Handle is only showing 32 successful requests.
That *feels* like a suspicious number!

@Edent "*feels* like a suspicious number" - ah, kabbalah debugging FTW

@brucelawson frankly, it's the only thing I've got!

Yup. Weird cURL Multi Handle bug. Sending 1,000 at a time didn't work. Sending 15 did.
A bit slower, but not disastrous.

Alrighty! Next silly #ActivityPub question.
Why can't Mastodon see my followers?
List of followers isn't available to Mastodon
Iβve written my own ActivityPub software which can be followed and post content to followers. That all works. I have a list of followers available at https://colours.bots.edent.tel/followers However, when I look at theβ¦
SocialHub (socialhub.activitypub.rocks)

@Edent Can you share the link to the actor JSON for the bot too, please? Could it be that itβs not properly referenced from there?
-
@lewis It is colours.bots.edent.tel/colours (but you have to request it with the right accept header.)
