Mastodon NotifyBot: Help

Home | About | Help | What's New | Code

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

Notification Filter Management
