FediFetcher is a tool for Mastodon that automatically fetches missing replies and posts from other fediverse instances, and adds them to your own Mastodon instance.
The overarching aim here is to have one unified way of configuring FediFetcher, with one set of option names.
The recommended way of configuring FediFetcher is now through use of a json file, although configuration through command line flags will continue to be possible, to support containers.
Options in the json file will have the same name as the command line flags. These have largely been the same as the environment variables, except for the --server flag, which used to use MASTODON_SERVER as environment variable.
Overall, this should make bot the documentation easier to maintain, and setup easier to do, as it's less confusing.
