Automatic Feed to Mastodon

We're happy with our Twitter feed, so we have no plans to switch to Mastodon. At the same time, if some readers are moving there, we'd be happy to set up a Mastodon feed as well. The more ways people can read us, the better.

Our Twitter and Facebook feeds, however, are automatically delivered from our RSS (using dlvr.it)—if we had to manually post each item, we'd constantly forget or err. Do any of you know whether it's possible to easily set up an automatic feed to a Mastodon account? Thanks!

I've been using Moa (https://moaparty.com)

It automatically reposts everything from your Twitter feed to your Mastadon account.

When I set up my Mastadon account in 2018, I also set up Moa. I'd almost forgotten about my Mastadon account until last week, and it's still been receiving all of my twitter posts.

You can compare my twitter feed at twitter.com/ShawnL with my mastadon feed at liberdon.com/@ShawnL

Now invent a longer day to provide time to check all of your accounts.

Why set up a Mastodon feed? It's Parler for the left. Nobody uses it. Might as well set up a Truth Social feed.

I have a Parler auto-feed, though some change in the Parler code stripped out the titles, which made it useless -- I tried to get the Parler people to fix it (I had corresponded with them about it earlier, and they had been responsive), but they never did. I'd be fine setting up a Truth Social feed as well, if it could be auto-fed; likewise with Mastodon.

My goal is to have us reach the maximum number of readers, whether they agree with us or not. Maybe we'll persuade or inform some, at least as to some matters. Maybe not. Maybe some have views so different from ours that they're unlikely to take our arguments seriously. But I'd like to try.

"Maybe not. Maybe some have views so different from ours that they’re unlikely to take our arguments seriously. "

Like the good Rev. "Costco"?

Why'd you drop the imperial "we" in this response?

[Eugene Volokh]

Jerry B.: No good reason. Sometimes I frame such items as speaking for my cobloggers (since I generally do on such technical matters) and sometimes I don't; I suppose it depends on my inclination at the moment.

So, e.g., if you're standing while posting you might say "I ...," but if you're laying on the couch at the time you might say "We ...?"

"It’s Parler for the left."

You mean that, as Parler is only for the American right, all other alternatives to Twitter must be for the left.

And "nobody uses it"?

Parler has about 4 million active users and Mastodon has 1 million. And Mastodon is growing at around 80,000 users a day last time I looked. I don't think Parler is experiencing that kind of growth. Mastodon could be level with Parler by the end of the year.

It will be interesting to observe Elon Musk's plan to profit at a Twitter without

advertisers (other than miracle pain relief breakthroughs, magic diet pills, downscale pillows, and reverse mortgagees),

college graduates (beyond Liberty, Regent, Hillsdale, and Ouachita Baptist),

and mainstream companies and organizations.

I have not tried it but this link is for an RSS to mastodon tool:
