   Testing a temporary workaround to there being no nomadic identity on the fediverse: auto-boosting all the toots from my main/current account to my old ones.
   
   Using this script: https://gitlab.com/chaica/boost
   
   1. Make sure you have python3 and pip3
   2. Install with `pip3 install boost`
   3. Run `register_boost_app` to generate authentication keys for your old account.
   4. Create the `boost.ini` config file based on the example, putting your main/current account as `users_to_boost`, and commenting out `only_if_hashtags`, `match` and `favorite`
   5. Test by running `boost -c boost.ini`
   6. Create a cronjob that runs every X minutes with `cd /path/to/config/folder && boost -c boost.ini`

      Clarification for step 6, you may need to include the full path like `/usr/local/bin/boost` rather than just `boost` in the cronjob.

      Looks like this approach is working! The fediverse is suddenly feeling alive again :)
