I love the idea of Mastodon but none of the people I follow on social media are using it. I wonder if there's some kind of web service that re-toots tweets from twitter so I can ditch the crappy Twitter web app and slowly move towards the fediverse at the same time. So far I've only seen publisher-oriented services, but I what I actually want is a combined feed of tweets and toots.


moa.party will re-syndicate your tweets to your Mastodon account.[0] It looks extremely shady, but I've been using it for a year, and it seems to be legitimate.

To see a Twitter user on Mastodon, you can follow them from Mastodon under the account [twitter handle]@beta.birdsite.live.[1]

Birdsite.live was exactly what I was looking for! I guess I'll have to set up a server of my own, maybe together with a private Mastodon instance, to get all the accounts synced without hitting the API limit, but this is very promising!


Beware that with many people crossposting from Twitter is frowned upon, found annoying, or may even lead some to block you. Your reposts will get different interactions than native ones. Less boosts, favourites and replies. An option may be to go Mastodon 2 Twitter instead.


I need to get better about posting to it, but I have possibly the best mastodon instance available :) https://www.omeowgle.com/web/@buzz only cats are allowed.


feed2toot can do some of it, but you'd need to build something to automate your feed/etc.

Its also probably against Twitter's TOS to tweet2toot so YMMV.


technically it’s possible to mirror tweets from Twitter directly, just find a Mastodon instance which supports this
