BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, #BotKit is a #TypeScript framework for creating standalone #ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other #fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Add custom emojis to your bot with Bot.addCustomEmojis()
Include these emojis in messages with the customEmoji() function
Use the text tagged template with Fedify Emoji objects

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

React to messages with Unicode emojis using Message.react()
React with the custom emojis you've defined
Handle reaction events with Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlers

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Quote messages with quoteTarget option
Access quoted messages via Message.quoteTarget
Handle quote events with the new Bot.onQuote event handler

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!

BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

@jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu · Reply to BotKit by Fedify :botkit:'s post

@BotKit by Fedify :botkit: Be aware that quotes and quote-posts are two different things, and both exist in the Fediverse. At least Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte can generate both.

This is a quote, like in every bulletin-board forum out there:

Coming soon in #BotKit 0.2.0: Native #quote post support!

Or this, but it has to be coded manually into the comment's source code:

BotKit by Fedify :botkit: wrote:

This is a quote-post a.k.a. shared post a.k.a. quoted share:

BotKit by Fedify :botkit: wrote the following post Mon, 21 Apr 2025 05:51:28 +0200

Coming soon in #BotKit 0.2.0: Native #quote post support!

We're excited to share a preview of the upcoming quoting features in BotKit 0.2.0. This update will make it easier for your bots to engage with quoted content across the fediverse.

The quoting feature set includes:

Detecting when someone quotes your bot's posts with the new Bot.onQuote event handler
Accessing quoted content through the Message.quoteTarget property
Creating quote posts using the quoteTarget option in Session.publish() and Message.reply() methods

Here's a quick example of how you can use the quote detection:

bot.onQuote = async (session, quote) => {
  // The quote parameter is a Message object representing the post that quoted your bot
  await quote.reply(text`Thanks for quoting my post, ${quote.actor}!`);
  
  // You can access the original quoted message
  const originalPost = quote.quoteTarget;
  console.log(`Original message: ${originalPost?.text}`);
};

And creating quote posts is just as simple:

// Quote in a new post
await session.publish(
  text`I'm quoting this interesting message!`,
  { quoteTarget: someMessage }
);

// Or quote in a reply
await message.reply(
  text`Interesting point! I'm quoting another relevant post here.`,
  { quoteTarget: anotherMessage }
);

Remember that quoting behavior may vary across different #ActivityPub implementations—some platforms like Misskey display quotes prominently, while others like Mastodon might implement them differently.

Want to try these features right now? You can install the development version from JSR:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0-dev.90+d6ab4bdc
We're looking forward to seeing how you use these quoting capabilities in your bots!

#fedidev

Also, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte handle quote-posts a lot differently from Misskey and the Forkeys.

Misskey and the Forkeys do quote-posts like so:

RE: https://hollo.social/@botkit/01965678-eb56-7003-9c91-07e4418bf63a

At least on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, a quote-post starts out like this:

[share⁠=74153074][/share]

Upon sending the post, this piece of BBcode is changed into a full, dumb copy of the original post, led in by a line that says who posted this first, complete with a link to the profile, and that also links to the original. The original poster is being notified about this (unless they chose not to), but if the original post is edited, the edit is not forwarded to quote-posted copies.

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been #custom_emoji support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Add custom emojis to your bot with Bot.addCustomEmojis()
Include these emojis in messages with the customEmoji() function
Use the text tagged template with Fedify Emoji objects

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

React to messages with Unicode emojis using Message.react()
React with the custom emojis you've defined
Handle reaction events with Bot.onReact and Bot.onUnreact handlers

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new #quote support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Quote messages with quoteTarget option
Access quoted messages via Message.quoteTarget
Handle quote events with the new Bot.onQuote event handler

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Coming soon in #BotKit 0.2.0: Native #quote post support!

We're excited to share a preview of the upcoming quoting features in BotKit 0.2.0. This update will make it easier for your bots to engage with quoted content across the fediverse.

The quoting feature set includes:

Detecting when someone quotes your bot's posts with the new Bot.onQuote event handler
Accessing quoted content through the Message.quoteTarget property
Creating quote posts using the quoteTarget option in Session.publish() and Message.reply() methods

Here's a quick example of how you can use the quote detection:

bot.onQuote = async (session, quote) => {
  // The quote parameter is a Message object representing the post that quoted your bot
  await quote.reply(text`Thanks for quoting my post, ${quote.actor}!`);
  
  // You can access the original quoted message
  const originalPost = quote.quoteTarget;
  console.log(`Original message: ${originalPost?.text}`);
};

And creating quote posts is just as simple:

// Quote in a new post
await session.publish(
  text`I'm quoting this interesting message!`,
  { quoteTarget: someMessage }
);

// Or quote in a reply
await message.reply(
  text`Interesting point! I'm quoting another relevant post here.`,
  { quoteTarget: anotherMessage }
);

Want to try these features right now? You can install the development version from JSR:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0-dev.90+d6ab4bdc

We're looking forward to seeing how you use these quoting capabilities in your bots!

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

Coming soon in #BotKit 0.2.0: Native #quote post support!

We're excited to share a preview of the upcoming quoting features in BotKit 0.2.0. This update will make it easier for your bots to engage with quoted content across the fediverse.

The quoting feature set includes:

Detecting when someone quotes your bot's posts with the new Bot.onQuote event handler
Accessing quoted content through the Message.quoteTarget property
Creating quote posts using the quoteTarget option in Session.publish() and Message.reply() methods

Here's a quick example of how you can use the quote detection:

bot.onQuote = async (session, quote) => {
  // The quote parameter is a Message object representing the post that quoted your bot
  await quote.reply(text`Thanks for quoting my post, ${quote.actor}!`);
  
  // You can access the original quoted message
  const originalPost = quote.quoteTarget;
  console.log(`Original message: ${originalPost?.text}`);
};

And creating quote posts is just as simple:

// Quote in a new post
await session.publish(
  text`I'm quoting this interesting message!`,
  { quoteTarget: someMessage }
);

// Or quote in a reply
await message.reply(
  text`Interesting point! I'm quoting another relevant post here.`,
  { quoteTarget: anotherMessage }
);

Want to try these features right now? You can install the development version from JSR:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0-dev.90+d6ab4bdc

We're looking forward to seeing how you use these quoting capabilities in your bots!

I love when programming handbooks start with quotes like this:

"Creativity is more than just being different...
Anybody can play weird — that's easy.
What's hard is to be as simple as Bach.
Making the simple complicated is commonplace...
Making the complicated simple
— awesomely simple;
That"s creativity."

— Charles Mingus, jazz musician (1922-1979)

The map is not the terrain.

With all the new updates this week, a reminder that LLMs are an excellent illustration of the attempted shifts to redefine what we usually call art (and knowledge/skill) to be almost entirely separate from its creation process and from its original meaning, context, environment and situation which lead to its creation. Being trained on digital reproductions of artworks and some select metadata, these models are fundamentally constrained to identify patterns for regenerating simulacra, their usage purely symbolic — a user-driven form of meme-style cultural sampling, pure semiotic “affiliation by association”, a kitschy clip-art-esque usage of looks, styles and aesthetics, entirely decoupled and devoid of history, meaning, context, incentives and other factors of (art) making/learning. A total lack of embodiment. Make this look like that. Baby portraits in Rembrandt's style, Ghibli used for PFPs or to create Neo-Nazi propaganda. Who cares?!

The great homogenizer.

Even for me as an artist primarily using non-LLM-based generative techniques for 25+ years, training a model on a corpus of my own works and then having it churn out new derivations, other than a case study, it would completely counter any of the creative & systemic investigations I'm after with most of my works. LLMs turn everything into a sampling and prompting workflow. Replicating a (non-existent) house style is the very thing I'm least interested in!

Triteness re-invented.

Removed from any original intentions of the consumed works enslaved in their training corpus, ignorant to the emotional states of their creators, free from the pains and joys and myriads of micro-decisions of art making, of the social context and the limitations (physical, material, skill) which led people to search for expressing their inner thoughts & feelings via artistic means... AI enthusiasts celebrate this new contextual freedom as creative breakthrough, but it’s always the same underlying sentiment behind: “The final original idea was that everything had already been done before.”

The Exascale mindset.

From the ravenous assembling of training datasets by ferociously crawling & harvesting absolutely anything which can be possibly found and accessed online, entirely disregarding author & privacy rights and social/technical contracts of acceptable use, the energy consumption for model training at a scale competing with developed nation states, to the abrasive social and political engineering and the artificial inflation of framing this tech as beneficial and inevitable to our societies. Most of the news & tech media, always hungry for clickbait, YouTubers able to create decades’ worth of new content — everyone happily lapping up any press-releases and amplifying the hype. Are there any responsible adults left where it currently matters most?

This ignorance-by-design isn’t about LLMs or their impact on art: The wider discussion is about how a tiny group of people with access to quasi-unlimited resources, capital and politicians is attempting to redefine what human culture is and to treat it (us) like just another large-scale mining operation, converting millennia of lived human experience, learning & suffering into monopolized resources for total extraction/monetization, filtered, curated, controlled and eventually sold back as de facto truth, with original provenance and meaning annihilated or vastly distorted to fit new purposes and shifting priorities/politics...

Don’t let the map become the terrain!

---

Two quotes by Friedrich A. Kittler as related food for thought:

“What remains of people is what media can store and communicate.”

“Understanding media is an impossibility, because conversely, the prevailing communication techniques remote-control all understanding and create all of its illusions.”

(Also, to clarify, even though thi.ng/hiccup and a small selection of other thi.ng libs started out porting concepts widely used in Clojure (the language I spent 7 years with previously), in many cases the scope, features, usability & potential use cases have been far extended far beyond their "originals" and it sometimes saddens me that these are often just plainly ignored or mis-labeled/described...)

@mountainmindset I'm far from being religious, but I always found the bible quote below very poetic & inspiring in this sense you're describing. I.e. given sufficient amount of time (and the capability to observe its passing over millions of years), even mountains/ranges/continents are somewhat behaving/flowing like water... rising/ebbing, protruding/eroding, pushing/shoving, dissolving... like watching timelapses of clouds (limited to our tiny temporal scale/perception)

"The mountains melted from before the lord" (Judges 5:5)

This insight has essentially also been the basis of a lot of simulation & generative and evolutionary design work I've been doing over the years... (all based on essentially controlling time at will, especially when creating/working with your own tools...)

The share price of Trump Media, whose majority shareholder is former President Donald #Trump, fell Tuesday to the lowest level seen since the Truth Social parent company began public trading in March following a merger. DJT shares dropped to $17.89 per share around midday Tuesday, The stock’s prior low was set on Aug. 28, when it hit $19.38 per share. The stock price is down roughly 77% from its high of $79.38 per share on March 26, following Trump Media’s merger with a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. Trump Media’s latest drop comes just weeks before Trump, who owns almost 59% of DJT’s outstanding shares, and other company executives can cash in on the falling stock. Trump’s stake was worth over $2 billion as of Tuesday. If Trump does take the payday, investors’ doubts about the company could intensify, potentially triggering a broader selloff of the stock — Rebecca Picciotto #quotes #quote #DJT #Nasdaq #Selloff #Stocks

"Every night, I sleep through the same nightmare. I hear a roar coming towards me, an increasingly menacing rumour. I don't turn round. I don't need to. I know who's chasing me… I know they have machetes. Somehow, without turning around, I know they have machetes… Sometimes there are my classmates too. I hear their screams when they fall. When they… Now I'm running alone, I know I'm going to fall, I know I'm going to be trampled, I don't want to feel the cold of the blade on my neck, I…
I wake up. I'm in France. The house is silent. My children are asleep in their room.

It takes strenght to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it.

It's more powerful then you know.

And those who oppose it will be more powerful then you will ever be.

"S’il y a des miséreux dans la société, des gens sans asile, sans vêtements et sans pain, c’est que la société dans laquelle nous vivons est mal organisée. On ne peut pas admettre qu’il y ait encore des gens qui crèvent la faim quand d’autres ont des millions à dépenser en turpitudes. C’est cette pensée qui me révolte ! "
