Mastodon Wall

Mastodon Wall is a simple web application that fetches and displays posts from multiple hashtags on Mastodon, an open-source decentralized social network. The project aims to provide an easily accessible public display of Mastodon posts for event organizers, community managers, and users who want to keep up with specific topics on the platform.

Technology

Mastodon Wall is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery for making API requests and handling dynamic content. The project uses the Mastodon API to fetch posts from specified hashtags.

The layout is responsive and mobile-friendly, thanks to the use of Bootstrap, a popular CSS framework, and Masonry, a grid layout library.

Features

Displays posts from multiple hashtags
Fetches new posts every 10 seconds and updates without reloading the page
Shows post content, author, author avatar, relative time, and images
Links to original post and author profile
Responsive design that adjusts to screen size

Installation

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/rstockm/mastowall.git

If you want to change the hashtags, replace the #bibliocon23, #111bibliocon, and #bibliocon in the HTML file with your desired hashtags.
