A service to automatically crosspost your Toots to Bluesky

Skymoth - Toots to the Sky

Skymoth is an open source service which allows you to share the content you post on Mastodon over to Bluesky. This allows you to stay in touch with your followers on both platforms.

Features

• Reposting toots over to Bluesky in a regular interval
• Reposting text
• Reposting (multiple) images with alt descriptions

Things to do

• Control which toots get reposted (currently only public "root" toots are reposted)
• More media reposting options
• Taking Bluesky posts over to Mastodon (this is quite rough thanks to rate limits)
• A better frontend (I know, I usually do UI/UX myself but this was not the priority here)
• Per instance polling intervals

Development

For development using Cachix Devenv is strongly advised. After setting up, you can just enter this projects shell.

Before starting the project you need to copy the .env.local over to .env:

cp .env.local .env

and modify it to to your needs. Then install all javascript dependencies by executing

bun install

Don't worry, if set up correctly the development shell you are in should contain all development tools needed for this project.

devenv up

after starting you may need to run

bunx prisma migrate dev

to apply all migrations.

FAQ

Is this free to use?

Yes, I will set up some kind of donation system to help keep this project and the infrastructure alive. But you can use this completely free without paying anything.

Can I host this myself?

Yes, this project can be indeed selfhosted, though this is not designed with selfhosting in mind. Though I would kindly ask you to keep your instances private to avoid confusion with this project and its infrastructure.

@()#$ - Something went wrong!

I know, social networks are big and complicated and handling content from a federated network is even more so. Since this is a one man show at the moment, please be patient if errors occur or the infrastructure has problems. You can be assured I'll do my best to fix stuff as quickly as I can.

skymoth's Issues

Cannot log back in to app after revoking access

I revoked access to the app from my instance in an effort to get Skymoth to stop reposting my mastodon posts to BSKY. Now when I try to log in to Skymoth, my instance throws me the following error:

“ Client authentication failed due to unknown client, no client authentication included, or unsupported authentication method.”

i believe it’s rated to the following issue:
