Social Sync

Attempts to follow your Bluesky (bsky.brid.gy) follows and Threads follows via the Mastodon API

Setup

• Clone repo
• pip install -r requirements.txt (or use a virtual environment, python -m virtualenv .venv, source .venv/bin/activate) If you're running python3.12+ please use requirements312.txt instead
• Copy config.toml.example to config.toml.
• Edit Bluesky config with username (or email) and password
• Edit Mastodon config with domain, username, and api_key
• Navigate to Threads account center -> Your Information and permissions -> Download your information -> Download or transfer your information -> Instagram -> Some of your information -> Select Threads -> Export as JSON
• Extract downloaded Threads data
• Copy following.json from instagram-idnumbers/your_instagram_activity/threads/following.json to the cloned repo
• execute python main.py this will grab all your follows from both services and saves to a database, then it attempts to follow them all
• The next time you run it, it will just use the database and not use the API
• If you want it to grab the follows again just use python main.py --refresh
• I suggest setting it on a cron routine (unfortunately Threads doesn't seem to have API access to the follows so you have to redownload data if you want up-to-date following accounts)
