Why YSK: I’ve seen several commenters asking if there were specific bots such as RemindMe

However, there are so many bots already on mastodon that will federate with us! Check out botsin.space, a masto-instance specifically made for hosting bots

Just tag @remindme@mstdn.social and say the time after (I recommend you not do it on this post unless you have an actual reason though as it could spam their servers)

      The thing about botsin.space is that it’s open to anyone who wants to host a bot, so there really isn’t any “centralized” listing besides what Mastodon offers by itself, and most bots generally have any instructions on their bios or pins.

        Yep! botsin.space is just a server dedicated to it, while ANY server can have a bot

        The closest I found to a “directory” was the local page of the instance but that just shows posts made by the bots

          Yeah, that’s what I found too. I was hoping to find a page that shows users of that instance. That way I can read up the bios of any interesting bots.
