The special casing of Wordpress and image downloading was not reliable for me so I have removed it, and tried to simplify the code in the process. If you still need this functionality you will want to pin v0.2.1.

*feediverse* will read RSS/Atom feeds and send the messages as Mastodon posts.
|
|
It's meant to add a little bit of spice to your timeline from other places.
|
|
Please use it responsibly.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
Run `feediverse --help` to show the command line options.
|
|
|
|
## 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. For some feeds (e.g. youtube-rss) you should use `{link}` instead of `{url}`.
|
|
|
|
`{content}` is the whole content of the feed entry (with html-tags
|
|
stripped). Please be aware that this might easily exceed Mastodon's
|
|
limit of 512 characters.
|
|
|
|
## 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}"
|
|
