Is anybody doing Mastodon <> BBS integration? Or Mastodon-via-telnet? Also - same questions about Lemmy. :) I'd like to bring the fediverse to my DOS-based dialup/telnet BBS.

@akacastor Closest I've seen to that is a text-mode Mastodon client. Tootstream would probably fit best (the UI is pure command-line like ttytter) but there's also Tut and Toot - which I'm tempted to run on a glass TTY at some point.

@philpem @akacastor

I recall seeing a #birdsite interface of some kind on tty.sdf.org via SSH, but I don't recall if it still works.
But that's the closest I've seen to it

@akacastor well, theoretically you could use the mastodon API I created for #DOStodon and implement some text mode mastodon access using #jSH.
your BBS then could call jSH to access a mastodon server instance...

@akacastor specifically regarding bbs <> fedi interop: not that had gotten very far that I'm aware of, but it is an Idea that keeps surfacing
