I'm happy to share my new (and small) open source "project" - Masto-rss. A small and simple Mastodon bot that posts news from RSS feeds.
I made masto-rss to bring news websites that don't have fediverse accounts into our feeds. The best way to use it is in its docker container form (which is linked in the README.md file). I am adding features to it as I go. Right now, it is powering @ynetmivzakim. Check it out here:

@0xamit thanks for making this. Just an FYI that given how simple the requirements are if you use a plain Alpine 3.18 base image and just install python3 & py3-pip you can easily halve the size of the image compared to using the python base with all its extras.

@spad Cheers! Noted. I'll take care of it later

@spad Just did it! It is tiny indeed! Thanks so much for the tip. I'm a low-level guy, docker is too high level for me :)
