three steps
- In Signal, find username @snorse-bot.
- Add the bot to your group.
- Mention it or begin a message with 🐴 or 🐌, followed by a command.
THE PUBLICLY HOSTED VERSION
use the shared bot.
This is the version at @snorse-bot. It runs on a small shared host, so new groups are admitted when capacity allows.
the command rule
Group messages are ignored unless they include a real bot mention or start with 🐴 or 🐌. Direct messages also need an explicit prefix. This prevents normal conversation from becoming instructions.
🐴 help
@snorse-bot reminders
🐌 remind order pizza every friday at 6pmcapacity + the waitlist
The host admits groups only while RAM, disk, Signal API, and listener health remain safe. Existing groups stay active. When full, new groups enter a FIFO queue and receive a welcome when capacity returns.
- initial group cap: 10
- standalone DM pool: 25 people
- members of active groups do not consume DM slots
- donations never affect position
what you are trusting
You trust the shared host to process command plaintext and store reminder data. Signal protects transport, but a functioning bot must read the commands it handles. If that boundary does not fit your group, self-host instead.
