Very interesting. Temporarily I've been duplicating my Twitter posts to
Mastodon using IFTTT but plan to make the change to native support.
Would you mind posting a link to your Mastodon profile so we can see the
results?

I've been posting to Mastodon for a while now and I've done it a bit
differently.
In skin.conf of what ever skin you are using (Seasons for me) I added:
[[MastodonHourly]]
encoding = strict_ascii
template = mastodon.out.tmpl
mastodon.out.tmpl contains:
Temp: $current.outTemp Humidity: $current.outHumidity\nPressure:
$current.barometer\nWind: $current.windDir.ordinal_compass,
$current.windSpeed (ave), $current.windGust (gust)\nRain Rate:
$current.rainRate Rain Total: $day.rain.sum\nSolar Radiation:
$current.radiation UV: $current.UV\nSoil Moisture: $current.soilMoist1
Lastly I have this python script run hourly from a Crontab using
Mastodon.py and I can upload an image from my webcam at the same time:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from mastodon import Mastodon
from datetime import datetime
# Set up Mastodon
mastodon = Mastodon(
access_token = '',
api_base_url = ''
)
photo_path = '/var/www/html/webcam.jpg'
now = datetime.now()
spoiler = 'Live weather for #Yeovil at ' + now.strftime('%d/%m/%y
%H.00')
f = open('/var/www/html/weewx/mastodon.out','r')
media = mastodon.media_post(photo_path)
content = f.read()
tweet = content.replace("\\n","\n")
mastodon.status_post(tweet, media_ids=media, spoiler_text=spoiler)
f.close()
