Hello guys,

I have been running a couple of ActivityPub / Mastodon bots posting historical photos from different public library collections (New York City, San Francisco…).

However, the hurdle I had was it was difficult and slow to deploy a new bot. It meant manually registering with Mastodon instance → verify → create app → add scopes…

So I have built a tool to speed up deployment for people who like to run multiple bots (identities / handles) on one instance. You could probably use it to run a regular user(s) as well with limits*.

This tool helps to deploy bots (new accounts / identities) in couple of clicks.

See it in action: https://bots.ambience.sk/

Code:

I would be glad for any feedback. Thanks and enjoy.

• Limits are that currently there is only one shared admin pass to access. So possible, but not recommended.
