Artemis is approaching the 1000-subreddit mark soon, and will likely reach that mark sometime in late July or early August.

After that mark has been reached, **my idea is to start up a new instance of Artemis on u/AssistantBOT1** - and subreddits who want to add the bot will be asked to send moderator invites to that account instead. The bot will obviously function exactly the same way and in fact subreddits on the new bot account will be able to take advantage of faster response times due to the relatively few number of subreddits on that account. Obviously the original account will continue to run and do its work; it just will redirect mod invites to the new instance. This is modeled off of the now-defunct The Sentinel Bot's structure, which spread out its mod invites over 30(!) different accounts to also avoid hitting API rate-limits. There's no need for that many accounts with Artemis, thankfully.

Again, this is a change that will happen at some point in the late summer, so nothing is changing now, but I thought I'd give everyone a heads-up.

Horizontal scaling instead of vertical scaling. Nice.

Question- How do you add u/AssistantBot to your sub and what does it do?
