Reddit Mastodon Crossposter

Prerequisites

  • Python 3
  • conda/mamba

Usage

  1. Install conda env with conda env create -f environment.yml.

  2. Initialize PRAW with e.g. reddit.py (please refer to the PRAW docs).

  3. Initialize Mastodon.py with e.g. masto.py (please refer to the Mastodon.py docs).

  4. Set all .env variables if there are any remaining. (The code does not check for missing environment variables and assumes that everything is set correctly.)

  5. Create a script post_toots.sh and make it executable chmod +x post_toots.sh:

    #!/bin/bash

cd /absolute/path/to/reddit-mastodon-crossposter
/absolute/path/to/conda run -n reddit python script.py

  6. Open the (user) cronjob editor with crontab -e and add the line 0 * * * * /absolute/path/to/post_toots.sh > /dev/null 2>&1. This cronjob runs hourly and the command outputs are not mailed to the user. Alternatively, 2>&1 can be ommited for debugging purposes if the error outputs should be mailed to the user.
