Toot2Mail

Generate notification emails from Mastodon toots.

Configure Mastodon accounts and hashtags you want to follow and receive notification emails for toots in the monitored accounts.

This can be used to passively follow Mastodon accounts without having to subscribe yourself.

It works completely by using the public interface APIs of Mastodon.
