Mastodon RSS Bot

I wrote a Mastodon RSS bot in Python today.

The script reads a CSV file of RSS feeds and checks each feed’s entries for the latest entries compared to the last time the bot posted.

Once a collection of new toots is created, the bot attempts to toot separating each post by 20 seconds.

run.sh runs the bot repeatedly, once a minute.

Posts are easy to create. I started with the entry title and link with some hashtags at the end.
