Twoot is a python script that mirrors tweets from a twitter account to a Mastodon account.
It is simple to set-up on a local machine, configurable and feature-rich.
**12 JUL 2023** VERSION 4.1
**14 JUL 2023** VERSION 4.2
**Nitter has recently added a change that highlights tweets that are part of a thread. Twoot
cannot handle this modification yet therefore TWEETS THAT ARE PART OF A THREAD ARE CURRENTLY
IGNORED.** A warning message is added to the log file instead.
An update is being worked on. Stay tuned.
Twoot can now handle threads. All tweets can again be uploaded on Mastodon. Tweets in a threads are
displayed in reverse chronological order in the main timeline (first tweet on top) to improve readability.
**A new dependency to python module `pytz` has been added**. Please run `pip install pytz`
in your environment to install it.
*When several toots are posted in the same run of toot it is possible that these toots do not appear in
chronological order on the timeline. If it is the case, try setting `upload_pause` to 3-5 seconds in
your config file to slow down the rate at which toots are uploaded.*
A list of nitter instances to use can now be specified in the config file
e.g. `nitter_instances = ["nitter.nl", "nitter.fdn.fr"]`.
If none is specified, a built-in list of 2-3 known good instances is used as before.
* Added option to display timestamp of the original tweet in toot
* Tweaked list of nitter instances
