+‘mastodon.el’ is an Emacs client for the AcitivityPub social networks

+
+Installation
+============
+
+Clone this repository and add the lisp directory to your load path.
+Then, require it and go.
+
+     (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/mastodon.el/lisp")
+     (require 'mastodon)
+
+   Or, with ‘use-package’:
+
+     (use-package mastodon
+       :ensure t)
+
+   The minimum Emacs version is now 27.1.  But if you are running an
+older version it shouldn’t be very hard to get it working.

+
+MELPA
+-----
+
+Add ‘MELPA’ to your archives:
+
+     (require 'package)
+     (add-to-list 'package-archives
+                  '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
+
+   Update and install:
+
+   ‘M-x package-refresh-contents RET’
+
+   ‘M-x package-install RET mastodon RET’
+
+
+File: README.info,  Node: Emoji,  Next: Discover,  Prev: MELPA,  Up: Installation
+
+Emoji
+-----
+
+‘mastodon-mode’ will enable Emojify
+(https://github.com/iqbalansari/emacs-emojify) if it is loaded in your
+Emacs environment, so there’s no need to write your own hook anymore.
+‘emojify-mode’ is not required.
+
+
+File: README.info,  Node: Discover,  Prev: Emoji,  Up: Installation
+
+Discover
+--------
+
+‘mastodon-mode’ can provide a context menu for its keybindings if
+Discover (https://github.com/mickeynp/discover.el) is installed.  It is
+not required.
+
+   if you have Discover, add the following to your Emacs init
+configuration:
+
+     (require 'mastodon-discover)
+     (with-eval-after-load 'mastodon (mastodon-discover))
+
+   Or, with ‘use-package’:
+
+     (use-package mastodon
+       :ensure t
+       :config
+       (mastodon-discover))

+
+Logging in to your instance
+---------------------------
+
+You need to set 2 variables in your init file to get started:
+
+  1. ‘mastodon-instance-url’
+  2. ‘mastodon-active-user’
+
+   (see their doc strings for details).  For example If you want to post
+toots as “example_user@social.instance.org”, then put this in your init
+file:
+
+     (setq mastodon-instance-url "https://social.instance.org"
+           mastodon-active-user "example_user")
+
+   Then *restart* Emacs and run ‘M-x mastodon’.  Make sure you are
+connected to internet before you do this.  If you have multiple mastodon
+accounts you can activate one at a time by changing those two variables
+and restarting Emacs.
+
+   If you were using mastodon.el before 2FA was implemented and the
+above steps do not work, delete the old file specified by
+‘mastodon-client--token-file’ and restart Emacs and follow the steps
+again.

+
+‘M-x mastodon’

+   Opens a ‘*mastodon-home*’ buffer in the major mode and displays
+toots.  If your credentials are not yet saved, you will be prompted for
+email and password.  The app registration process will take place if
+your ‘mastodon-token-file’ does not contain ‘:client_id’ and
+‘:client_secret’.

+   Pops a new buffer/window in ‘mastodon-toot’ minor mode.  Enter the
+contents of your toot here.  ‘C-c C-c’ sends the toot.  ‘C-c C-k’

+
+   Autocompletion of mentions and tags is provided by
+‘completion-at-point-functions’ (capf) backends.
+‘mastodon-toot--enable-completion’ is enabled by default.  If you want
+to enable ‘company-mode’ in the toot compose buffer, set
+‘mastodon-toot--use-company-for-completion’ to ‘t’.  (‘mastodon.el’ used
+to run its own native company backends, but these have been removed in
+favour of capfs.)
+
+   Replies preserve visibility status/content warnings, and include

+
+Alternative timeline layout
+---------------------------
+
+The incomparable Nicholas Rougier has written an alternative timeline
+layout for ‘mastodon.el’.
+
+   The repo is at <https://github.com/rougier/mastodon-alt>.
+
+
+File: README.info,  Node: Live-updating timelines mastodon-async-mode,  Next: Translating toots,  Prev: Alternative timeline layout,  Up: Usage
+
+Live-updating timelines: ‘mastodon-async-mode’
+----------------------------------------------
+
+(code taken from <https://github.com/alexjgriffith/mastodon-future.el>.)
+
+   Works for federated, local, and home timelines and for notifications.
+It’s a little touchy, one thing to avoid is trying to load a timeline
+more than once at a time.  It can go off the rails a bit, but it’s still
+pretty cool.  The current maintainer of ‘mastodon.el’ is unable to debug
+or improve this feature.
+
+   To enable, it, add ‘(require 'mastodon-async)’ to your ‘init.el’.
+Then you can view a timeline with one of the commands that begin with
+‘mastodon-async--stream-’.
+
+
+File: README.info,  Node: Translating toots,  Prev: Live-updating timelines mastodon-async-mode,  Up: Usage
+
+Translating toots
+-----------------
+
+You can translate toots with ‘mastodon-toot--translate-toot-text’ (‘a’
+in a timeline).  At the moment this requires lingva.el
+(https://codeberg.org/martianh/lingva.el), a little interface I wrote to
+<https://lingva.ml>, to be installed to work.
+
+   You could easily modify the simple function to use your Emacs
+translator of choice (‘libretrans.el’ , ‘google-translate’, ‘babel’,
+‘go-translate’, etc.), you just need to fetch the toot’s content with
+‘(mastodon-tl--content toot)’ and pass it to your translator function as
+its text argument.  Here’s what ‘mastodon-toot--translate-toot-text’
+looks like:
+
+     (defun mastodon-toot--translate-toot-text ()
+       "Translate text of toot at point.
+       Uses `lingva.el'."
+         (interactive)
+         (let* ((toot (mastodon-tl--property 'toot-json)))
+           (if toot
+               (lingva-translate nil (mastodon-tl--content toot))
+             (message "No toot to translate?"))))

+Dependencies
+============
+
+Hard dependencies (should all install with ‘mastodon.el’):
+   • ‘request’ (for uploading attachments),
+     <https://github.com/tkf/emacs-request>
+   • ‘persist’ for storing some settings across sessions
+   • ‘ts’ for poll relative expiry times
+
+   Optional dependencies:
+   • ‘emojify’ for inserting and viewing emojis
+   • ‘mpv’ and ‘mpv.el’ for viewing videos and gifs
+   • ‘lingva.el’ for translating toots
+
+

+
+Network compatibility
+=====================
+
+‘mastodon.el’ should work with ActivityPub servers that implement the
+Mastodon API.
+
+   Apart from Mastodon itself, it is currently known to work with
+Pleroma and Gotosocial.  If you attempt to use ‘mastodon.el’ with
+another server that implements the Mastodon API and run into problems,
+feel free to open an issue.

+
+Bug reports
+-----------
+
+  1. ‘mastodon.el’ has bugs, as well as lots of room for improvement.
+  2. I receive very little feedback, so if I don’t run into the bug it
+     often doesn’t get fixed.
+  3. If you run into something that seems broken, first try running
+     ‘mastodon.el’ in emacs with no init file (i.e.  ‘emacs -q’
+     (instructions and code for doing this are here
+     (https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el/issues/300)) to see if
+     it also happens independently of your own config (it probably
+     does).
+  4. Enable debug on error (‘toggle-debug-on-error’), make the bug
+     happen again, and copy the backtrace that appears.
+  5. Open an issue here and explain what is going on.  Provide your
+     emacs version and what kind of server your account is on.
+
+
+File: README.info,  Node: Fixes and features,  Next: Coding style,  Prev: Bug reports,  Up: Contributing
+
+Fixes and features
+------------------
+
+  1. Create an issue (https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el/issues)
+     detailing what you’d like to do.
+  2. Fork the repository and create a branch off of ‘develop’.
+  3. Run the tests and ensure that your code doesn’t break any of them.
+  4. Create a pull request referencing the issue created in step 1.

+
+Coding style
+------------
+
+   • This library uses an unconvential double dash (‘--’) between file
+     namespaces and function names, which contradicts normal Elisp
+     style.  This needs to be respected until the whole library is
+     changed.
+   • Use ‘aggressive-indent-mode’ or similar to keep your code indented.
+   • Single spaces end sentences in docstrings.
+   • There’s no need for a blank line after the first docstring line
+     (one is added automatically when documentation is displayed).

+If you’d like to support continued development of ‘mastodon.el’, I
+accept donations via paypal: paypal.me/martianh
+(https://paypal.me/martianh).  If you would prefer a different payment
+method, write to me at that address and I can provide IBAN or other
+details.
+
+   I don’t have a tech worker’s income, so even a small tip would help
+out.
