@Kimiko_0 Have we figured out how to mod the twitterbot to post to Mastodon yet?
@Maverynthia "We"? ^_^
I've looked into it a little and it seems like it would not be a huge amount of work (though testing/debugging could take some time).
The two CLI Mastodon clients I looked into seemed to be very new though, so I figured I should wait a little bit.
I'm not sure which instance the bots should use either. Witches.town doesn't allow bots I think, and I don't know how much of a burden all those bots on botsin.space are/how that instance is supported.
@Kimiko_0 I was hoping someone on the public timeline would chime in ^_ ^;
Well the Catboy bot is on Mastodon.social. I got my bot sitting on botsinspace. I can always move it if need be.
@Maverynthia Oh, you only squatted the name. I thought maybe you'd already figured how to make it toot :D
(typo in the profile btw)
@Kimiko_0 My bot can't spell X3
I want to look at the scripts because it can't be that hard right? It just needs oauth access and know where to send the stuff right?
@Maverynthia Yes, but the Twitter and Mastodon APIs are slightly different. It's not just a matter of connecting to a different server.
This little script looks best suited to what I've used before: https://github.com/decklin/tusk
There are some clients listed as "CLI" on https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/Apps.md , but those are interactive terminal-based clients, not actually CLI, so not really useful for building a bot on top of.
@Kimiko_0 Ah i thought you could just switch some variables around T_ T
@Maverynthia Yes, there are other instances that allow bots. mastodon.social itself is closed though.
How do you mean "bot sitting on botsin.space"?
