I'm currently brainstorming a framework for creating fediverse bots called , based on . It's less flexible than Fedify, but the goal is to make it possible to create simple fediverse bots with much less code. What do you think?

import { createBot, mention, text } from "@fedify/botkit"; import { RedisKvStore } from "@fedify/redis"; import { Redis } from "ioredis"; // Create a bot instance: const bot = createBot({ // The bot will have fediverse handle "@greetbot@mydomain": username: "greetbot", // Set the profile icon (avatar): icon: new URL("https://mydomain/icon.png"), // Set the bio: bio: text`Hi, there! I'm a simple fediverse bot created by ${ mention("@hongminhee@hollo.social").}`, // Use Redis as a key-value store: kv: new RedisKvStore(new Redis()), // Use Redis as a message queue: queue: new RedisMessageQueue(() => new Redis()), }); // A bot can respond to a mention: bot.on(/hi|hello|what'?s\s+up/i, (ctx) => { return ctx.reply(text`Hi, ${ctx.actor}!`); }); // Or, a bot also can actively publish a post: setInterval(async () => { await bot.publish(text`Hi, forks! It's an hourly greeting.`); }, 1000 * 60 * 60); export default bot;
ALT text detailsimport { createBot, mention, text } from "@fedify/botkit"; import { RedisKvStore } from "@fedify/redis"; import { Redis } from "ioredis"; // Create a bot instance: const bot = createBot({ // The bot will have fediverse handle "@greetbot@mydomain": username: "greetbot", // Set the profile icon (avatar): icon: new URL("https://mydomain/icon.png"), // Set the bio: bio: text`Hi, there!

That looks amazing.

It's ok to be somewhat opinionated with smart defaults, IMHO.

Why create bots?

@hongminhee This looks like something that I would like to use. Very nice 😃

A stand-alone AP bot framework might be a great niche that is underserved. I think many Mastodon instances (understandably) aren't enthusiastic about accepting bot accounts.

@hongminhee Very cool!

Just a heads-up though about a somewhat similar (but recently discontinued?) project with the same name.

Fedify 基盤(기반)의 BotKit이라는 이름의 聯合宇宙(연합우주)(fediverse) 봇을 만드는 프레임워크를 브레인스토밍해보고 있어요. Fedify보다 柔軟性(유연성)은 떨어질테지만, 그래도 훨씬 짧은 코드로 簡單(간단)한 聯合宇宙(연합우주) 봇을 만들 수 있게 하는 게 目標(목표)입니다. 어떻게들 보시나요?

import { createBot, mention, text } from "@fedify/botkit"; import { RedisKvStore } from "@fedify/redis"; import { Redis } from "ioredis"; // Create a bot instance: const bot = createBot({ // The bot will have fediverse handle "@greetbot@mydomain": username: "greetbot", // Set the profile icon (avatar): icon: new URL("https://mydomain/icon.png"), // Set the bio: bio: text`Hi, there! I'm a simple fediverse bot created by ${ mention("@hongminhee@hollo.social").}`, // Use Redis as a key-value store: kv: new RedisKvStore(new Redis()), // Use Redis as a message queue: queue: new RedisMessageQueue(() => new Redis()), }); // A bot can respond to a mention: bot.on(/hi|hello|what'?s\s+up/i, (ctx) => { return ctx.reply(text`Hi, ${ctx.actor}!`); }); // Or, a bot also can actively publish a post: setInterval(async () => { await bot.publish(text`Hi, forks!

@hongminhee I really would if something like this would exist.
Also starting with an opinated version is fine, especially in the beginning:)
Thx for your work!!

Considering whether to make Deno-only or support Node.js and Bun as well. Making it Deno-only would simplify a lot of things, but … 🤔
