# mstdn-ebooks
**Lynnear Edition**
This version makes quite a few changes from [the original](https://github.com/Jess3Jane/mastodon-ebooks), such as:
- Unicode support
- Non-Markov stuff
- Stores toots in a sqlite database rather than a text file
- Doesn't unecessarily redownload all toots every time
## Install/usage guide
An installation and usage guide is available for unix-based platforms (linux, macOS...) [here](https://cloud.lynnesbian.space/s/Qxxm2sYdMZaqWat).
## Original README
hey look it's an ebooks bot
python3
install the requirements with `sudo pip3 install -r requirements`
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
