# mstdn-ebooks
|
|
|
|
**Lynnear Edition**
|
|
|
|
This version makes quite a few changes from [the original](https://github.com/Jess3Jane/mastodon-ebooks), such as:
|
|
- Unicode support
|
|
- Non-Markov stuff
|
|
- Stores toots in a sqlite database rather than a text file
|
|
- Doesn't unecessarily redownload all toots every time
|
|
|
|
## Install/usage guide
|
|
An installation and usage guide is available [here](https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/jozbRi69t4TpD95). It's primarily targeted at Linux, but it should be possible on BSD, macOS, etc. I've also put some effort into providing steps for Windows, but I can't make any guarantees as to its effectiveness.

|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
Configuring mstdn-ebooks is accomplished by editing `config.json`.
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Default | Meaning |
|
|
|--------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| site | https://botsin.space | The instance your bot will log in to and post from. |
|
|
| cw | null | The content warning (aka subject) mstdn-ebooks will apply to non-error posts. |
|
|
| instance_blacklist | ["bofa.lol", "witches.town"] | If your bot is following someone from a blacklisted instance, it will skip over them and not download their posts. This is useful for ensuring that mstdn-ebooks doesn't download posts from dead instances, without you having to unfollow the user(s) from them. |
|
|
| learn_from_cw | false | If true, mstdn-ebooks will learn from CW'd posts. |
|
|
| mention_handling | 1 | 0: Never use mentions. 1: Only generate fake mentions in the middle of posts, never at the start. 2: Use mentions as normal (old behaviour). |
|
|
| max_thread_length | 15 | The maximum number of bot posts in a row before it stops replying. A thread can be 10 or 10000 posts long, but the bot will stop after it has posted `max_thread_length` times. |
