*feediverse* will read RSS/Atom feeds and send the messages as Mastodon posts.
Please use responsibly! *feediverse* is kind of the same thing as [feed2toot]
but it's just one module that works with Python 3 ... and I was bored.
## Install
pip install feediverse
## Run
The first time you run *feediverse* you'll need to tell it your Mastodon
instance and get an access token which it will save in a configuration file. If
you don't specify a config file it will use `~/.feediverse`:
feediverse
Once *feediverse* is configured you can add it to your crontab:
*/15 * * * * /usr/local/bin/feediverse
## Post Format
You can customize the post format by opening the configuration file (default is
~/.feediverse) and updating the *template* property of your feed. The default
format is:
{title} {url}
If you want you can use `{summary}` in your template, and add boilerplate text
like so:
Bookmark: {title} {url} {summary}
`{hashtags}` will look for tags in the feed entry and turn them into a space
separated list of hashtags.
## Multiple Feeds
Since *feeds* is a list you can add additional feeds to watch if you want.
...
feeds:
- url: https://example.com/feed/
template: "dot com: {title} {url}"
- url: https://example.org/feed/
template: "dot org: {title} {url}"
## Why?
I created *feediverse* because I wanted to send my Pinboard bookmarks to
Mastodon. I've got an IFTTT recipe that does this for Twitter, but IFTTT
doesn't appear to work with Mastodon yet. That being said *feediverse* should
work with any RSS or Atom feed (thanks to [feedparser]).
## Warning!
Please be responsible. Don't fill up Mastodon with tons of junk just because you
can. That kind of toxic behavior is why a lot of people are trying to establish
other forms of social media like Mastodon.
