Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/2…
TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.
I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

It's a big shame to see it go, but thank you so much for running it! 👏
It's been such a fixture of the Fediverse, you've done an excellent job. Hopefully the bot owners are able to find instances that are as good as yours!
Massive kudos for keeping it going for so long, and for closing it down gracefully with a warning period for account transfers etc.

do you or anyone else have any recommendations for where a bot could live after this?

in reply to colin mitchell • • •@kayserifserif The only one that I know about that seems currently active is mastodon.bot.
I am also wondering if I should move my bots to my own server, or create a separate one, and potentially share with others.
Lots to consider!

Do note that you can download the raw data, if that helps in the meantime!

in reply to Renaud Chaput • • •@renchap Would be interesting! Not sure whether muffinista has the energy for this now. muffinlabs.com/posts/2022/09/1… mentions that the conversations and status tables are especially massive, and I imagine the social graph too given the number of followers. Maybe the new version's follow recommendations are expensive in such a situation? Does the notification grouping query the DB to decide those groups?

Unknown parent • • •@paul @kayserifserif That's the one being shut down, if you look at the original post.
Unless you meant to share a different link?
