Bit of Sunday morning coding. If you use #ActivityBot, you can now see all hashtagged posts on one page.

For example https://example.viii.fi/tag/ActivityBot

Alfie presents his events bot at FES.

I love @alifeee.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy 's #Sheffield events bot (@events@events.sheffield.alifeee.net on Mastodon) - it's genuinely how I find stuff to do with the kids in town.

Leveraging #ActivityBot and some selector-heavy scraping. #FrontEndSheff

RE: colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/69b8f4ea-be04-edf4...

I've upgraded my colours poster to the latest version of #ActivityBot.

If you want to get started with little automated bots, all you need is a web host with PHP 8.5 and the ability to upload two files.

I was temped to add versioning to #ActivityBot using:

```php
define( "VERSION", hash_file( "xxh32", __FILE__ ) );
```

But I've gone with boring old DateVer instead.

Hey #ActivityPub friends. Are there any new ActivityPub / Mastodon features I should add to #ActivityBot?

It's a small bot-only ActivityPub server in a single PHP file.

It can be followed, post images, allow quote posts, etc.

Is there anything else you […]

List of followers isn't available to Mastodon Alright, this has driven me crazy for over a week and I couldn’t find an answer anywhere on the web so I decided to dive into Mastodon’s code. The solution is simple: both followers and following need to be paginated, even if either of them is empty. Mastodon retrieves both and simply checks if they have a “first” property. That’s it.

Let it be proclaimed across the Fediverse that @DFYX is a genius!

They've completely solved the problem of #ActivityBot not showing followers properly.

Just tested their fix, and it works perfectly:
