BotKit is a TypeScript framework that allows developers to create standalone ActivityPub bots running as independent servers rather than scripts tied to existing social media accounts. Built by the Fedify team, it enables bots to operate on custom domains with full control over identity, storage, and federation without platform-imposed limits.
Background
The Fediverse relies on the ActivityPub protocol for decentralized social networking, but most bots are limited by the platforms they run on. This tool addresses the need for more autonomous and robust bot infrastructure within the decentralized web ecosystem.
