If you want to use a different file for configuration, specify it with the `--cfg` argument. For example, if you want to use `/home/lynne/c.json` instead, you would run `python3 main.py --cfg /home/lynne/c.json` instead of just `python3 main.py` | Setting | Default | Meaning | |--------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -| site | https://botsin.space | The instance your bot will log in to and post from. | +| site | https://botsin.space | The instance your bot will log in to and post from.
