About

As the name implies, this project posts images and videos of idols (and one office lady) from The iDOLM@STER idols to Bluesky. There are 16 bots in total: 12 for the 765 Production idols (the Twins are combined), 1 for Kotori, and 3 for Dearly Stars. Images that have multiple idols in them will be reposted by their respective bots.

This project is entirely separate from the imas765probot project on Twitter that is ran by Kikuflare, and is not ran, affiliated with, or endorsed by them.

If you're interested in more details or the history of the image bots, I recommend you check out One year of iM@S Image Bots.

Current status

Most bots post either every hour or every 90 minutes. A few others post less frequently: Ryo posts a few times a day, and Ai and Eri currently post semiweekly. The goal is that bots with enough images will run every hour, much like the aforementioned Twitter project used to.

Support policy

The image bots are currently expected to run until November 24, 2026 JST.

Fediverse support

Some of the image bots are available on the Fediverse (the network powering Mastodon among many others) with the help of Bridgy Fed. You should be able to follow the following image bots by searching for their handles from your instance:

• Haruka: @harukaimg.bot.akizuki.best@bsky.brid.gy
• Yukiho: @yukihoimg.bot.akizuki.best@bsky.brid.gy
• Ritsuko: @ritsukoimg.bot.akizuki.best@bsky.brid.gy

If you're having trouble finding the image bots from your instance, your server admins may be blocking Bridgy Fed, and you'll need to reach out to them for assistance.

FAQ

Q: Will you add other branches/idols?
A: I won't be adding more idols as working with the 16 already running is enough of a pain.

Q: I'm a feed operator and the bots are clogging my feed!
A: The list linked above contains all running image bots, and many feed tools let you mute users on specific lists.

Q: Can you make me bots for something?
A: Managing the 16 bot accounts is already more than I want to do, so no. I do provide the software the bots run on as free and open source software; see the Tangled repository for information on how to do host bots yourself.
While the terminology and internal structure used is iM@S-focused, the bot can be used to post images of literally anything, whether that be pineapples, idols from other franchises like Love Live!, characters from other games like Puyo Puyo or whatever else you can think of.

Q: I need help on hosting this bot!
A: Check to make sure you didn't miss anything in the docs, and then contact me for assistance.

Q: What's the license for the source code?
A: The old codebase is licensed under the MIT License. The new codebase is currently proprietary.

Note

• Similar images are counted as one.
• Many images also feature other idols in addition to the main one. Such images will be reposted by their corresponding bots, so the true number of images per idol is higher.
