    @CoffeeAddict that’s correct. I had a bug in my scheduler last night which made it miss your Armenia post, but I ran with a wider window to pick up those and it should be working now.
    The bot pulls the thread RSS at https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=Neoliberal once an hour and then for each post since the last run:

    • performs a search on the masto instance to get the post federated and get the masto post id
    • checks to see if it’s already been boosted by the bot
    • boosts it if not yet boosted.

      @CoffeeAddict I could make it run more aggressively, but I figure an hour should be fine. I went with RSS as KBin’s API is very undocumented. Interestingly, I just found out this morning they also support jsonfeed, which could allow me to remove a rss reading dependency.
