feed2fedi 3.1.1

Makes posts to Fediverse from one or more feeds

Feed2Fedi is a Python bot that reads RSS feeds and automatically posts them to a Fediverse instance. It supports instances running Mastodon, Takahe, and Pleroma. Feed2Fedi has been inspired by feed2toot.

Features

• Feed2Fedi posts to Fediverse instances.

• Feed2Fedi attaches a picture to the post if the feed item contains a “media_thumbnail”.

• Feed2Fedi can monitor multiple RSS/ATOM feeds at once

• Feed2Fedi is fully open-source, so you don’t have to give an external service full access to your social media accounts

There is also some Documentation for Feed2Fedi.

If you’d like to delete older posts from your Fediverse account look into Fedinesia as a tool that might work for you.

Disclaimer

The developers of Feed2Fedi hold no liability for what you do with this script or what happens to you by using this script. Abusing this script can get you banned from Fediverse instances, so make sure to read up on proper usage for each site.

Setup and usage

Feed2Fedi is available on PyPi.org and I recommend installing it with pipx using the command below:

pipx install feed2fedi

Once installed you can start it by issuing the feed2fedi command.

During the first run it will prompt for some values and create a config.ini file with sensible starting settings.

Then edit the config.ini file and add the RSS/ATOM feed in the feeds section and remove the sample feed. Detailed information about config options is available in the documentation.
