Description: *feediverse* will read RSS/Atom feeds and send the messages as Mastodon posts.
        Please use responsibly! *feediverse* is kind of the same thing as [feed2toot]
        but it's just one module that works with Python 3 ... and I was bored.
        
        ## Install
        
            pip install feediverse
        
        ## Run
        
        The first time you run *feediverse* you'll need to tell it your Mastodon
        instance and get an access token which it will save in a configuration file. If
        you don't specify a config file it will use `~/.feediverse`:
        
            feediverse
        
        Once *feediverse* is configured you can add it to your crontab:
        
            */15 * * * * /usr/local/bin/feediverse    
        
        ## Post Format
        
        You can customize the post format by opening the configuration file (default is
        ~/.feediverse) and updating the *template* property of your feed. The default
        format is:
        
            {title} {url}
        
        If you want you can use `{summary}` in your template, and add boilerplate text
        like so:
        
            Bookmark: {title} {url} {summary}
        
        `{hashtags}` will look for tags in the feed entry and turn them into a space
        separated list of hashtags.
        
        ## Multiple Feeds
        
        Since *feeds* is a list you can add additional feeds to watch if you want.
        
            ...
            feeds:
              - url: https://example.com/feed/
                template: "dot com: {title} {url}"
              - url: https://example.org/feed/
                template: "dot org: {title} {url}"
        
        ## Why?
        
        I created *feediverse* because I wanted to send my Pinboard bookmarks to
        Mastodon.  I've got an IFTTT recipe that does this for Twitter, but IFTTT
        doesn't appear to work with Mastodon yet. That being said *feediverse* should
        work with any RSS or Atom feed (thanks to [feedparser]).
        
        ## Warning!
        
        Please be responsible. Don't fill up Mastodon with tons of junk just because you
        can. That kind of toxic behavior is why a lot of people are trying to establish
        other forms of social media like Mastodon.
