Setting up MastoFeed

Unproofread notes

I publish a lot in my /raw notes section, so I thought about connecting my raw feed to my Mastodon account so that whenever I publish a new note, it automatically gets published on the platform.

I was thinking about writing some Python or Node.js script to automate this, but then I looked up about it online and found this tool called MastoFeed that does precisely what I wanted. It's completely free to use and one can connect multiple feeds that gets published to the same account. So then I dropped my idea of creating a custom script and set up MastoFeed instead, and this is the very first post that I am doing after that.

Another option for me was, by using Typefully. I use Typefully to post and schedule posts on X, Mastodon, Threads, etc. platforms, so I could have used the Typefully API and set up an n8n automation for this. But I didn't want to publish a lot of posts on X, so the MastoFeed set up works the best for me.

Update:

I waited for more than an hour but it didn't get published, and I also noticed other people discussing about the same. So I have removed the set up for now and have already found a better solution using n8n.
