Mastodon bot which posts a single random post from ooh.directory. See the bot in action on botsin.space instance.
Create .env configuration file next to binary. You can also create this file by copying .env.example to .env file from the source.
This configuration file must contain access_token (obtained from your server's application dashboard) and bot_server_url, which is the URL of the server, e.g. https://botsin.space.
Running the binary will then scrape the site and post to given bot's server URL statuses endpoint. The application keeps track of posted URLs in text file records.txt which will be written in binary's location.
The frequency of posting depends on how often you run the binary, use scheduler such as cron to set it up.
Logs are streamed to stdout so you can pipe them to a file if you want to.
Run make build to obtain binaries for Windows/Linux/macOS. They will be in outputs/ directory.
Run make test to run the test suites.
Run make install to copy pre-commit hook for formatting.
