v1.0.0 - Initial release

PIXIE is now up and running! Try out PIXIE for your Mastodon instance today!

Installation instructions

1. Install Python 3 on the machine your Mastodon instance is running on. This is usually done with sudo apt-get install python3.
2. Download pixie-v1.0.0.zip onto the same machine.
3. Create a folder called pixie in a location where the Mastodon CLI can be accessed (test this by navigating into the folder on the command line and checking if tootctl --version works).
4. Extract the archive into the folder you just created.
5. In the command line, run python3 pixie-tests.py and answer the few questions to make sure everything works.
6. Open pixie-main.py in any text editor and change the two variables at the top of the file. Change "donphan.social" to your instance's name and 5 to how frequently you will run the script (see next step).
7. Once you have set up the variables, you can create a cronjob (or similar) to run pixie-main.py every couple of minutes. Make sure that the frequency matches what you set up in the variables in pixie-main.py!
8. Enjoy! Emojis are used in a :shortcode@instance.com: format.
