## FediBooks
|
||||||
|
Before you use mstdn-ebooks to create your own ebooks bot, I recommend checking out [FediBooks](https://fedibooks.com). Compared to mstdn-ebooks, FediBooks offers a few advantages:
|
||||||
|
- Hosted and maintained by someone else - you don't have to worry about updating, keeping the computer on, etc
|
||||||
|
- No installation required
|
||||||
|
- A nice UI for managing your bot(s)
|
||||||
|
- Easy configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, there are still a few reasons you might want to use mstdn-ebooks instead:
|
||||||
|
- Your data stays local to your machine
|
||||||
|
- More customisation potential - you can edit mstdn-ebooks to add functionality
|
||||||
|
- Replying more (in)frequently than FediBooks allows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Like mstdn-ebooks, FediBooks is free, both as in free of charge and free to modify, self-host, and more.

An installation and usage guide is available [here](https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/jozbRi69t4TpD95). It's primarily targeted at Linux, but it should be possible on BSD, macOS, etc. I've also put some effort into providing steps for Windows, but I can't make any guarantees as to its effectiveness.
