README

        
**expandurl-mastodon** is a Mastodon bot that expands shortened URLs.

If you want the bot to expand an URL, reply to the post with the URL in it and

mention the bot account (`@[email protected]` for example).

![Example screenshot](https://doc.schlomp.space/expandurl-mastodon/expandurl_screenshot.jpg)

This bot uses the same visibility as you, but posts unlisted instead of public.

It retains the sensitive flag and spoiler warnings.

Some tracking parameters, like those beginning with

[utm_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_parameters) are stripped. It also tries

to rewrite [AMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Mobile_Pages) URLs to

point at the real webpages.

Please report any bugs via the

[issue tracker on schlomp.space](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/expandurl-mastodon/issues)

or to [@[email protected]](https://soc.ialis.me/@tastytea).
