Artemis 2.1 Katsura has been live and deployed for about a week now! Here's a rundown of the major changes:

New Instance: u/AssistantBOT1

I had previewed the move to multiple instances[1] (accounts) for AssistantBOT a few months ago. This is modeled off of r/Layer7's now-defunct The Sentinel Bot's structure, which spread out its mod invites over many different accounts to also avoid hitting API rate-limits.

Well, **u/AssistantBOT1 is now open and accepting moderation invites from subreddits**! Literally everything is the same in terms of flair enforcement and statistics; in fact, the response time for the bot to unflaired posts should be even quicker given that it is moderating fewer subreddits. I will open up u/AssistantBOT2 in the future as well, though probably not for a few months.

The original instance **u/AssistantBOT will stop accepting new moderation invites on January 28**. At that point, any moderation invites sent to it will be greeted with a friendly response asking the subreddit to please invite u/AssistantBOT1 instead. Obviously, all subreddits currently monitored by u/AssistantBOT will remain monitored by it; this only affects invites from *new* subreddits.

Questions

Should I move my subreddit from the original instance?

Yes, if you'd like! This is especially true if you rely a lot on flair enforcing; the new instance has faster response times.

How do I move my subreddit from the original instance?

1. De-mod the original instance (u/AssistantBOT) from your sub.

2. Invite u/AssistantBOT1 as a mod with the same permissions.

3. That's it! Artemis should automatically migrate all your subreddit's statistics and such over to the new instance.

What happens if I invite u/AssistantBOT to moderate my sub after January 28?

You'll get a response from the bot asking you to invite a different, open instance instead. Unfortunately, u/AssistantBOT *cannot* accept a moderation invite on behalf of *u/AssistantBOT1* as they are separate accounts. Please send a new invite to u/AssistantBOT1.

Can I have more than one Artemis instance on my subreddit?

Nope, the instances check upon receiving a moderation invite to see if the subreddit is already monitored by an existing instance.

Other Things

I added GIF instructions to the flair enforcement message for third-party Reddit apps, as well as Mobile Web. * The added third-party instructions are for Apollo, BaconReader, Boost, Relay, and RIF. * The mobile web instructions mostly cover how to switch to desktop mode and select a flair that way, as there is no flairing function on mobile web.
The Pushshift aggregations outage[2] unfortunately continues. I've not heard back from its maintainer yet, but I have built in a function in the bot that detects whether aggregations are active or disabled so that it can avoid unnecessary calls. * Pushshift's Patreon[3] - please contribute if you can!
Artemis will properly escape Markdown characters in top posts lists - like asterisks (`*`).
As always, you can find the latest version of the code at GitHub[4]. Artemis is open-source and MIT-licensed.
