This project is a fork of the original BirdsiteLIVE from NicolasConstant. Changes made in this fork include:

• Rework About page
• Cache Tweets so that, for example, Announces do not hit rate limits
• Allow replacing and redirecting to twitter.com in Tweets to other domains (i.e. Nitter instances)

This fork is also available as a Docker image as pasture/birdsitelive.

The project's original README is as follows:

About

BirdsiteLIVE is an ActivityPub bridge from Twitter, it's mostly a pet project/playground for me to handle ActivityPub concepts. Feel free to deploy your own instance (especially if you plan to follow a lot of users) since it use a proper Twitter API key and therefore will have limited calls ceiling (it won't scale, and it's by design).

State of development

The code is pretty messy and far from a good state, since it's a playground for me the aim was to understand some AP concepts, not provide a good state-of-the-art codebase. But I might refactor it to make it cleaner.

Official instance

You can find an official (and temporary) instance here: beta.birdsite.live. This instance can disapear at any time, if you want a long term instance you should install your own or use another one.

Installation

I'm providing a docker build. To install it on your own server, please follow those instructions. More options are also available.

Also a CLI is available for adminitrative tasks.
