       Bot creator here, I have a silly question: for folks whose images have been spiralized by this bot, did you get a *notification* for it? Or did you just happen to see that your post got a reply?Either way, what Mastodon client are you using?(I'm asking because apparently replying to a post without also tagging somebody doesn't generate a notification, at least on the clients I'm using? But then how are people finding these posts at all? Maybe different clients show different things?)

       @GoldenSpiralBot I want to know what you used to do this.  (i.e. scrape/listen, adjust (imagemagick?), repost).

       @cattailnu I'm hoping to write a full tutorial soon, but the quick answer is I used a library called Mastodon4j to access the Mastodon API from Java: https://github.com/sys1yagi/mastodon4jThe spiral is drawn by an algorithm I wrote using the Java2D API.
