@hollie Were you intending for this to show up in my timeline? Might want to DM the bot in future if not..

@hollie And I just tried a DM and it turns out you can't. So I don't think there's any work-around.

@madewokherd Well crap. That's frustrating. I have a couple dozen feeds I was going to use for this service.

I might try using one of my throwaway Mastodon accounts (like my original old .social one) to make the feeds and then follow them quietly from here.

@hollie Maybe after doing the first one you can reply to the bot's reply to you so at least there's just one thread?

@madewokherd Don't those replies still show up for everyone in their feed, though?

@hollie Only if it's a reply to someone you're also following, I think.

@madewokherd Interesting! Mastodon continues to reveal its mysteries. :)

Well I deleted both my requests but I can still see the replies in my feed so now I'm curious if I reply to THAT, will it show up for you?

@hollie Actually I'm gonna use this thread to test out something silly, hang on.
