Calling all FediFetcher users who are currently running FediFetcher as a GitHub Action:

Following recent changes by GitHub, and a poll, which showed that only a single respondent actually relies on GitHub Actions without any alternative way of running FediFetcher, GitHub Action support for FediFetcher has been deprecated.

If you are currently running FediFetcher as a GitHub Action, please refer to our new guide on migrating FediFetcher from GitHub Actions:

https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher/wiki/Migrating-From-GitHub-Actions

You should have until 20th June to perform the migration, but if you don't migrate before then, FediFetcher will likely cease working for you shortly after.

If you have any questions, please free to open an issue on GitHub, or reply to this post.

And if you are that one person who doesn't have an alternative way of running FediFetcher: Please get in touch! I'd love to help you if I can.

Migrating From GitHub Actions

FediFetcher is a tool for Mastodon that automatically fetches missing replies and posts from other fediverse instances, and adds them to your own Mastodon instance. - nanos/FediFetcher
