We fuzz with feeds.

Want to follow a Twitter user in your RSS feeds?

Want to mix people from Activity pub?

Want to fetch previews on that RSS feed which annoyingly doesn't include previews when they link something?

That kind of thing is what this does.

Clone into your web-root, ideally in a directory called "fudz" but where you put it is up to you.

Copy secrets_template.php to secrets.php and then edit it so it knows where it lives and stuff.

Make sure cache directory exists and is writeable by the web-server (probably Apache? I'm using Apache, you may need mad skillz to make it run elsewhere)

Run composer to fetch the dependencies.

./composer.phar install

If you added it in yourwebsite.com/fudz/ then, say you want an RSS feed of a mastodon user, you just use

yourwebsite.com/fudz/mastou/boing.world/pre

to get an adapted RSS feed of my mastodon account.

Or if you wanna follow me on Twitter you can use

yourwebsite.com/fudz/twitteru/revpriest

Or if you wanna follow my Rumble channel you can use

yourwebsite.com/fudz/rumbleu/starshipsd

There's also one for Rumble Channels but I don't think I have one of those, you might have to be important like Russell Brand.

If you edit those URLs to different mastodon hosts or twitter usernames you can get feeds for different people.

Edit the secrets.php to make sure you add your RSS reader's IP addresses and avoid running some kinda open relay that could fill up your cache if everyone was using it.

Keep an eye on that cache size in general in fact.

Have you checked that the .htaccess allows apache to read all the things it tries to read?

Have you checked the cache directory is writeable?

Have you fetched the dependencies with composer?

Can you try running from the command line to check for any errors printed to console?
