I have a long way to go, but slowly starting my #BotsInSpace migration.

GoToSocial is pretty neat, actually. Lots of potential!

- @stefan@stefanbohacek.online The website is currently down. Is that essentially an ActivityPub implementation with a lot less features than Mastodon?
  
  @jerome@jasette.facil.services I suppose you can say that. But it sounds like it's being actively developed, which sounds very promising!
  I am mainly interested in it in the context of migrating a few dozen automated accounts, see https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/113392776797934398.
  Setting up a new Mastodon server seems like an overkill, so I'm giving this a try.
- @tom@tomkahe.com Yep!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online Welcome to GoToSocial! Are you moving all your bots to one instance? I know you have quite a few!
Up to now, GtS has been about single user instances or small groups. Very interested to see how it does with more traffic in and out.
- @box464@mastodon.social Thank you!
  Yes, I'm just experimenting now, but my idea is to run my own GTS server with all my bots on it.
  Performance is definitely my biggest concern. I'd rather not have to spend even more money on my personal side projects, which, outside of a few bucks/month in donations to Botwiki generate no income.
  
  @box464 I'm still very early in the process, I just set up the server, now I'm looking into updating https://stefans-creative-bots.glitch.me. This project uses a Mastodon node.js library, and even though GTS has a great compatibility with Mastodon's API, the library itself is not handling things correctly.
  Now that I bring this up, maybe I can just look into opening an issue on GitHub, or forking it, it's probably something minor.
