If two people both using the crossposter retweet the same tweet, this will currently result in two disparate Mastodon toots (with their own respective threads, even).

Could hidden metadata (such as the Twitter post ID) be added to the first toot so the second is skipped, and instead the first is boosted?

In the log I got it:

The regular expression used to trim media URLs from tweets is no longer valid.

Media URLs looks like this https://mastodon.social/media/ERyywqJtwsr1NZ6F8SU but the regex only capture digits after media/

I don't think I'm alone getting lot of errors on mastodon.social, and MastodonToTwitter seems to immediatly crash on the first error. Maybe we should add a queue to handle that ?

I have a Debian system with Python 3.2 and no super easy way to update to Python 3.4, but that's okay because this is Dockerized and that'll install everything I need.

Except to configure the script, I need to install Python 3.4 after all, which is a bit silly.

Any way to run the configuration inside the container?

Hi,

Everything fitted in the subject. I thought my 500chars toots would appears like :
« Begining of my interesting toot […] http://mamot.fr/link/to/toot »

When toots are too long to fit in 140 characters.

Posting on Twitter:

>>> stemgames.org.au <<<

Cross-posted to Mastodon by script:

>>> https://www.stemgames.org.au/ <<<

When putting new lines in a toot, Mastodon uses <p> tags which are stripped when sending the tweet.

• https://mastodon.social/users/Alda/updates/1162829
• https://twitter.com/WebScrewdriver/status/829372857062940674

I think one solution is to replace </p><p> with a new line before stripping the other html tags.

Using the last version, with the correct password (triple checked)

Also I suggest that if the twitter part worked well, you do not have to enter the info again if the mastodon part fail...

This appears to be your first time running MastodonToTwitter.
After some configuration, you'll be up and running in no time.
First of all, to talk to twitter, you'll need a twitter API key.


Usually, the application creator is supposed to make that, but with
an application that isn't a hosted service or a binary blob, with
the key in plain text, this is not easily possible.


You'll need to register an app on https://apps.twitter.com/ .
You may have to add a phone number to your twitter account to be able
to do this.


Once you are done (make sure to allow your app write permissions),
go to your apps 'Keys and Tokens' page and enter the info from there
here.


Twitter Consumer Key (API Key): xxx
Twitter Consumer Secret (API Secret): xxx
Twitter Access Token: xxx
Twitter Access Token Secret: xxx


Alright, trying to connect to twitter with those credentials...


Great! Twitter access works! With mastodon, the situation is a bit easier,
all you'll have to do is enter your username (that you log in to mastodon
with, this is usually your e-mail) and password.


Mastodon server (press Enter for mastodon.social): https://mastodon.xyz
Mastodon Username (e-mail): [email protected]
Mastodon Password: 



You already have Mastodon server set up, so we're skipping that step.

Last week @halcy (author) pushed this commit, stating that this script is now unmaintained, since he doesn't use it anymore.

Is anyone interested in taking this over?

There are some pressing issues such as:

• boosts are not marked as retweets (#51)
• retweets don't get forwarded at all (#29)
• private toots probably shouldn't get forwarded (#34)

I see that @AmauryCarrade probably has done the most work on this script, adding

• support for threads: toots/tweets that are replies to more of your own toots/tweets should keep that relationship when forwarded (need to keep a mapping of forwarded IDs for that)
• support for content warnings

Do you want to take it over? Does anyone else?

I am going to use this script as I try to move to Mastodon more seriously, so I'll see if I can tackle some of the issues myself (but I don't have that much free time).

[edit: started my own program so I probably won't be contributing here]

Many websites use tracking elements in the URL (UTM parameters).
They are not necessary for a website to be displayed or work correctly and can therefore be removed.
Many crossposts from twitter contains those trackers!

I propose to clean URLs before crossposting them.

This can be easily implemented.
The firefox add-on ClearURLs already does that and keep a list of UTM parameters to remove :
https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls

I try to run the script on a brand new mastodon account.
It dies on line 195 because the index is out of range.
Posting a toot by hand is a quick workaround for now, but maybe base the start time on the current timestamp if there is no toot would be better ?

Launching MastodonToTwitter.py (or running it as a service), I get:

# ./MastodonToTwitter.py Tweeting any toots after toot 12387 Tooting any tweets after tweet 877224399400730624 Updated expected short URL length: Is now 24 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./MastodonToTwitter.py", line 246, in <module> new_toots = mastodon_api.account_statuses(ma_account_id, since_id = since_toot_id) File "/home/bill/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mastodon/Mastodon.py", line 364, in account_statuses return self.__api_request('GET', '/api/v1/accounts/' + str(id) + '/statuses', params) File "/home/bill/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mastodon/Mastodon.py", line 963, in __api_request if url['rel'] == 'next': KeyError: 'rel'

Took me way too long to realise that BASE_URL needed to be set in the Python script. It ought to be configurable, same as Twitter API keys and Mastodon log in creds.

I will probably try to patch this myself and submit a PR.

failed on this toot: https://mastodon.social/users/hoodie/updates/225175

As you saw, this works great for me. I see that replies are exempt from xposting by design and I may have a bug (or I don't understand):

Found new toots, processing:
Toot bigger 140 characters, need to split...
new part
Tweeting " A second test of https://github.com/halcy/MastodonToTwitter (programmatically crosspost to Twitter from Mastodon) because I don't understand the --"...
Encountererd error. Not retrying.
Finished toot processing, resting until next toots.

After running of hours the script stop works and miss many tweet to post on mastodon but there is no log for it

If I want to be sure that the script is running it is very difficult because on systemd say that is running without any information

I tested posting images from Mastodon and Twitter, but the pictures that come from tweets are marked as sensitive (same as NSFW).

Hi,

I wanted to start using this, but when building the docker image it crashes because in one of the images git seems to be missing

I really like this project btw :-)

As of the current codebase, in order the change the behavior of the app. you need t change at app source. It would be useful if the following could be set in a config file, and not source:

POST_ON_TWITTER
POST_ON_MASTODON
SPLIT_ON_TWITTER
TOOT_VISIBILITY

I think it could be a plus for mastodon user to see that the post come from twitter
so they don't look for the @XX on their instance and understand that it is from twitter
The idea is to add a conversion in twitter post changing every @XX in @[email protected]

I don't know much python but if you are ok but don't have time to do it I can try a PR

Have a good day

It seems that posting from Twitter to Mastodon won't work.

For example, because you have configured both app,
you should be able to choose if you want to cross post from Mastodon to Twitter
or from Twitter to Mastodon
IMHO the second will allow more people to get in Mastodon as for now the network effect is still more powerful on Twitter

Hi,

i started MastodonToTwitter and configured it. It started without problems, then I quit, started it with the Systemd service but it doesn't start because it wont to configured again, but i can't configure it because i havnt any prompt.

best,
patrick

this toot killed it: https://mastodon.social/users/hoodie/updates/233375

Hi,

I wanted to start using this, but after I created a toot in my mastodon instance, it crashes when it was syncing the data as below screen prompt:

Greetings,

All of the install/authentication pieces seem to be working for me but the script fails with this error. Any help you have would be much appreciated.

$ Python3 MastodonToTwitter.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "MastodonToTwitter.py", line 173, in
api_base_url = MASTODON_BASE_URL
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ratelimit_method'

I'm running the script as a systemd service. Any idea on what might be going wrong?

Current script does not handle 2FA.

When Boosting a post on Mastodon, MTT posts them to twitter as if they are from the twitter/masto user, and does not show them as being boosted/re-tooted. This causes confusion on twitter, as the original author of the toot does not get the credit for their content.

Great syncing tool, but unlisted and private toots should not get posted to Twitter. Luckily it is ignoring @replies, but I suspect even direct toots are pushed to Twitter if they do not lead off with a @mention

It is a common practice for some people on Twitter to have "After Dark" or venting accounts that are separate from your main account so people don't have to deal with all your NSFW stuff if they don't want to. In Mastodon, there's Content Warning spoilers instead you can use to hide NSFW or generally sensitive content.

My suggestion to handle this would be to optionally watch an alternate Twitter account, and sync to/from it to the according criteria:

• Any incoming posts from that account get posted on Mastodon using a CW spoiler with a predefined message "Just 'NSFW' by default"
• Any CW posts matching a certain criteria from Mastodon get posted to this alternate account instead of the main one.

I don't think it'd be particularly tough to implement, other than dealing with the credentials of a second account. If I understand correctly, you'd only need to create the app once, then just grab the access token for the second account and authorize the app there as well.

Maybe it'd be best to trim that off the post contents?
