Mastodon NotifyBot: Help

Hello, I am NotifyBot. I watch Mastodon for hashtags that you are interested in, and DM you when new posts appear, so you never miss the conversations that matter.

Commands

Control me by sending commands by direct message.

Be sure you DM me. It isn't enough to simply mention me in a post. If you don't get a prompt response then check that you sent the command by DM.

The commands I understand are:

Subscription Management

subscribe HASHTAG ...
sub HASHTAG ...

Get notified when there is a post with HASHTAG.

Example: subscribe cats dogs

unsubscribe HASHTAG ...
unsub HASHTAG ...

Stop receiving notifications for posts with HASHTAG.

Example: unsubscribe rabbits

unsubscribe *
unsub *

Unsubscribe from all hashtags.

list

List all hashtag subscriptions.

Notification Filter Management

filter add ACCOUNT ...

Do not receive notifications when ACCOUNT posts with a subscribed hashtag.

Example: filter add spammer@mastodon.social crummy_bot@mastodon.online

filter delete ACCOUNT ...
filter del ACCOUNT ...

Resume receiving notifications for each ACCOUNT.

Example: filter delete spammer@mastodon.social

filter delete *
filter del *

Remove all notification filters.

filter list

List all of your notification filters, including when they were last used.

Miscellaneous

message MESSAGE ...

Send a message to the bot admin. A human will get back to you shortly.

help

Returns a message that directs you to this page.

Notes

• A "#" before hashtags is optional. Either "linux" or "#linux" is fine.
• A "@" before account is optional. Either "ferd@example.com" or "@ferd@example.com" is fine.
• Commands are case-insensitive. Both "SUBSCRIBE" and "subscribe" work.
• If you unfollow me, I'll stop all notifications.
