How does federation of bots work? I was testing whether my bot will reply on Kbin and while I see it on the Lemmy side (https://lemmings.world/post/71345), the reply is not visible on Kbin side (https://kbin.social/m/ChatGPT/t/197430/I-created-a-ChatGPT-bot-for-Lemmy).
Or is there any other reason the response isn’t visible?
Ok. My suspicion is that bot account only post locally within that instance and doesn’t federate the message. Maybe to avoid spamming the fediverse? Maybe ask the Lemmy devs.
It works across Lemmy instances, I think this is on Kbin side.
ow wait…! I know… It’s because Lemmy uses type ‘Service’ for the bot accounts. We will try to treat both user and service types the same in the near future.
