This is a Python bot that looks up posts from specified subreddits and automatically posts them on Twitter and/or Mastodon. It is based on reddit-twitter-bot. Tootbot is used by a wide variety of social media accounts.
Features:
- Tootbot can post to both Twitter and Mastodon
- Tootbot can either run locally, or in the cloud with a free Heroku account
- Media from direct links, Gfycat, Imgur, Reddit, and Giphy is automatically attached in the social media post (unless the video file is too large or cannot be converted into a GIF)
- Links that do not contain media can be skipped, ideal for meme accounts like @ItMeIRL
- NSFW content, spoilers, and self-posts can be filtered
- Tootbot can monitor multiple subreddits at once
- Tootbot is fully open-source and runs locally, so you don't have to give an external service full access to your social media accounts
Tootbot uses the tweepy, PRAW, py-gfycat, imgurpython, Pillow, and Mastodon.py libraries.
