- venv gitignored
- fix missing token pass
- configuration for visibility
- configuration for how far to go back when fetching new posts (if unlimited (as was originally) adding a new feed will spam you!)
- handling of misskey and mastodon rss feed formats (e.g. you want to take a user on misskey or a hashtag on mastodon and republish their posts)
rsskey is a simple script for mirroring RSS or Atom feeds on Misskey. It splits original posts into paragraphs or sentences to fit an instance's character limit and checks for previous notes before creating.
rsskey depends on feedparser, httpx, loca, markdownify and trio.
Install the dependencies, then execute src/rsskey.py.
In rsskey's user configuration directory,
declare the mirroring jobs in jobs.conf, for example:
[rms@birb.space]
; Format of the rss feed
; - blog: ordinary blogs - should usually work.
; - misskey: misskey profile feed - has special parsing to preserve the CW field.
; - mastodon: mastodon rss feed - has special parsing for format idiosyncrasies.
format = blog
; Numbers of days to look back when querying for new posts - default is 1 day.
lookback = 14
; URL to RSS/Atom feed source
source = https://stallman.org/rss/rss.xml
; URL to destination Misskey instance's API
dest = https://birb.space/api
; Note character limit of the Misskey instance - usually 3000 but you may want to keep it low for various reasons.
text = 420
; Content warning character limit of the Misskey instance
cw = 69
; Visibility
; - home (everyone who visits the profile but only sent to followers)
; - followers (only followers will see)
visibility = home
; Misskey user ID for searching previous notes
user = 8rt4sahf1j
; Access token with permission to compose notes
token = 7h4753cur3r4nd0m57r1n61764v3y0uIn order to run rsskey chronically, set up a systemd timer or something.
This is a private fork for my own usage of the original project at original-repo-url. I have no desire to maintain this for anyone else, but I am curious about any ways this project may get extended.
