**Lynnear Edition**
2018-10-11 02:27:32 +00:00
This version makes quite a few changes from [the original ](https://github.com/Jess3Jane/mastodon-ebooks ), such as:
2018-10-09 01:11:51 +00:00
- Unicode support
- Non-Markov stuff
2018-10-11 02:24:58 +00:00
- Stores toots in a sqlite database rather than a text file
- Doesn't unecessarily redownload all toots every time
## Install/usage guide
2018-11-26 05:47:34 +00:00
An installation and usage guide is available [here ](https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/jozbRi69t4TpD95 ). It's primarily targeted at Linux, but it should be possible on BSD, macOS, etc. I've also put some effort into providing steps for Windows, but I can't make any guarantees as to its effectiveness.

make a bot (probably on bots in space) and follow the target accounts
run `python3 main.py` to login and scrape
run `python3 gen.py` to make a toot
cron is an okay choice to make it toot regularly
