Tootbot
This is a Python bot that looks up posts from specified subreddits and automatically posts them on Mastodon. It is based on reddit-twitter-bot.
Features:
Tootbot posts to Mastodon
Media from direct links, Gfycat, Imgur, Reddit, and Giphy is automatically attached in the social media post. Tootbot attaches up to the first 4 pictures for imgur albums and reddit gallery posts.
Links that do not contain media can be skipped, ideal for meme accounts like @babyelephantgifs
NSFW content, spoilers, and self-posts can be filtered
Tootbot can monitor multiple subreddits at once
Tootbot is fully open-source, so you don’t have to give an external service full access to your social media accounts
Tootbot also checks the sha256 checksum of media files to stop posting of the same media file from different subreddits.
Tootbot can ping a Healthchecks instance for monitoring continuous operation of Tootbot
Optionally throttle down frequency of tooting when mastodon errors are detected.
!!! Tootbot no longer supports posting to Twitter. !!!
If you need twitter functionality look into reddit-twitter-bot as a possible alternative.
!!! Tootbot no longer supports deleting old toots. !!!
If you’d like to delete older toots from your Mastodon account look into Fedinesia as a tool that might work for you.
