Should we make the arXiv bots unlisted (so they don't show in the Local Timeline).
Keep in mind this will cause the bot to not federate and thus wont be enjoyed by the rest of the Fediverse.

@QOTO Unlisted posts do also federate and can be seen by everyone who follows them.They just don't produce spam in the federated timelines.

Thats what I meant when I said federate, appearing in the federated timeline. Otherwise they are like a silenced account, no one can see the posts unless they follow the account first. But since they will never see the posts without following they will never know it exists to be able to follow.
A catch 22 basically.
Most people don't follow the federated timeline anyway.
