I like to post this periodically as more nostr newbies join, in case they haven't seen it:
Here's a tool I built that scans all the people you're following on Twitter, and creates nostr profiles that mirror their posts, so you can follow their Tweets from nostr:
As always, big thanks to #[1] for building the awesome rsslay.nostr.moe tool that handles the underlying rss feed -> nostr bridge making.
Quick question. So you have to be following the accounts for this to work? Reason I am asking I have several lists there but many on the lists I don’t follow (ie accounts can be added to a list without having to follow the account if that makes sense)
Yes this only checks your "following" list on Twitter, so it would only show accounts you're following. Good point regarding Lists on twitter, I'll look into adding that ability!
Would that mean being able to create a “rss feed” for a list which would translate into a profile here? If that makes sense.
Yup that's possible, and you can do that now actually, as long as your list is public.
1. Go to your list page and copy the list number in the URL
2. Go to https://rsslay.nostr.moe and in the "Create a profile for a RSS feed" field, put the following:
https://nitter.moomoo.me/i/lists/*your list ID goes here*/rss
3. It'll then generate a nostr profile of the rss feed of your list!
make sure to add "https://" before the nitter url
How long would it take to populate the feed approximately?
Hard to say, it varies a lot depending on the syncing schedule of both the nitter instance and rsslay.nostr.moe
Wouldn't it be better to convince them to join #Nostr instead? Twitter is censorable, so your suggestion maintains the censorship and brings it to nostr
