Bulk import twitter followings #115

Open richcorbs opened 4 years ago

richcorbs commented 4 years ago

My great idea for Fraidycat is:

Bulk import twitter followings. I follow many people on twitter and would like to try using Fraidyc.at. I don't want to have to manually enter each one.

Ok - interesting. I like this. This seems similar to #89, in that I need a better way to re-tag stuff on import.

Thank you, Rich!

i mentioned this feature on twitter a while back, and tbh it's the biggest reason i'm not a fraidycat user yet. i follow like 1600 people on twitter, and adding them each manually is not feasible.

the feature is not just a twitter thing though. most services that fraidycat supports also have a follow function, and it would be great to be able to pull those lists.

on some services, like twitter and instagram, it's just a openly accessible page ( twitter.com/%account/following or instagram.com/%account/following ) which might be easily scrapeable (both of those are infinitely scrolling pages that only load the whole list as you scroll though). on other services the only obvious list is in a logged in browser session ( youtube.com/feed/subscriptions/ or tumblr.com/following or twitch.tv/directory/following/channels ).

eagerly hoping for this, at the least for twitter.

Hi was just wondering about this feature and if there's any way to do this yet -- with all the current twitter chaos, would love to at least scrape my entire current list of "people I follow" on Twitter, and import to a specific Ffraidycat stream... any updates or workarounds for this? Thank you!
