Gersande La FlècheMastodon bot magicians! What is the simplest way for a Mastodon bot to grab photos from an RSS feed and post them (alt-text included) to their feed?

Never used it, but #feedToMasto, maybe?
GitHub - scripting/feedToMasto: Node app that checks a list of feeds periodically, post new items to Mastodon.

@gersande what are you using as a language, and which ActivityPub library?

Most rss-to-mastodon bots I've tried don't handle image uploads. Maybe you can to feed2exec in combination with toot command? But you'd have to make your own parser to download images from feed summary so you could upload them with toot.

@Veticia This may be beyond my extremely basic capabilities as a programmer lol
