# Tootify 🦋→🐘

A simple Bluesky-to-Mastodon cross-posting service


## What does it do

Tootify allows you to do a selective one-way sync of Bluesky posts to your Mastodon account.

The way it works lets you easily pick which skeets you want to turn into toots: it scans your recent posts and checks which of them you have liked yourself, and only those posts are reposted. The self-like is automatically removed afterwards.

Currently handles:

- post with link embeds
- quotes – posted as "RE: bsky.app/..."
- images (with alt text)
- videos
- threads of multiple chained posts from you


## Installation

At the moment:

    git clone https://github.com/mackuba/tootify.git
    cd tootify
    bundle install


## Usage

First, log in to the two accounts:

    ./tootify login johnmastodon@example.com
    ./tootify login @alf.bsky.team

Press like on the post(s) on Bluesky that you want to be synced to Mastodon.

Then, you can either run the sync once:

    ./tootify check

Or run it continuously in a loop:

    ./tootify watch

By default it checks for new skeets every 60 seconds – use the `interval` parameter to customize the interval:

    ./tootify watch --interval=15


## Configs

Tootify stores configs and data in the `config` folder:

* `bluesky.yml` – created when you log in, stores Bluesky user ID/password and access tokens
* `mastodon.yml` – created when you log in, stores Mastodon user ID/password and access tokens
* `history.csv` – stores a mapping between Bluesky and Mastodon post IDs; used for reply references in threads
* `tootify.yml` - optional additional configuration

The config in `tootify.yml` currently supports one option:

- `extract_link_from_quotes: true` – if enabled, posts which are quotes of someone else's post which includes a link will be "collapsed" into a normal post that just includes that link directly without the quote (so the link card on Mastodon will show info about the link and not the quoted bsky.app post)
