Use Personal Account and not Bot Account Multi Platform #521

The question is whether I can easily use a personal account as a bot. Telegram has the limitation that other bots cannot see each other, and with a user account I could bypass that and have projects like Matterbridge forward the RSS to the various platforms.

Probably unfeasible. Only bot accounts are able to send messages with inline buttons. Without that, you would be unable to manage your subscriptions.

unable to manage your subscriptions.

I could clone the database from a working bot. Do you know how to make it use a user account? Or does it require changes to the code?

yes

weskerty commented 2 months ago

yes

An alternative solution is to use a channel and thus you can use RSSTT on multiple platforms.
