A small python 3.x script to replicate tweets on a mastodon account.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The script only need mastodon login/pass to post toots.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It gets the tweets from RSS available at http://twitrss.me, then does some cleanup on the content:
|
|
|
|
|
- twitter tracking links (t.co) are dereferenced
|
|
|
|
|
- twitter hosted pictures are retrieved and uploaded to mastodon
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sqlite database is used to keep track of tweets than have been tooted.
|

The script is simply called by a cron job and can run on any server (does not have to be on the mastodon instance server).
