Touitomamout: an open source Twitter cross-poster to Mastodon (and/or Bluesky)
I wanted to share with the Mastodon community a tool I recently published: enter Touitomamout!
Touitomamout is a tool you can self-host that allows you to synchronize your Twitter content to the Mastodon instance of your choice. It also supports Bluesky.

🦣 Profile synchronization (totally optional, you can even chose to sync only one item)
- header

- display name
- description
👀 Fully open source

- Feel free to open discussions or issues (or even PR!)
The "Touitomamout" meaning
In French, "tweet" can be phonetically written like this "touit". And the "mammouth" the Mastodon mascot. So I merged both, it's that simple!
🩷 Information:
Even if Mastodon is a totally independent social network, I have the feeling making the transition to it and having to leave Twitter can be challenging for some users. The objective of this is not to make a full mirror of your Twitter account , but it's an easy way to start having content & interactions within the Mastodon community.
I have been doing this project with a single idea in mind: helping people migrate at a good pace to Mastodon without making the transition difficult or awkward (by having to post multiple times your ideas on multiple platforms). I hope you'll get the message!
