mastodon-autofollow
Autofollow bot for mastodon, the first of its kind.
Simple bot that follows every new user it finds on the public timeline of an instance.
This helps populating the federated timeline on the instance I am running with a more broad view of the fediverse.
It's a proof of concept, but a working one
dependancies:
- Mastodon.py
launch.sh
Simple script that takes care of installing dependancie in virtualenv and launching the script.
use it in cron at your own pace after the first launch
blacklist:
If you use this code, please respect the wishes of the person this bot will follow. Some don't want to be bothered, some instances don't want a followbot to bother them, respect them and either contact me ( @gled@mastodon.host ) or do a Pull Request to add your blacklist to the list.
