RSS to Mastodon
Turn any RSS feed into automated Mastodon posts. Set it up once, never copy-paste again.
Paste your RSS feed URL into Feedloop, pick your Mastodon account, and we'll poll the feed continuously. Every new item becomes a Mastodon post — formatted via a per-platform template you control.
- Native Mastodon publishing via the official API
- Per-platform message templates with {{title}}, {{link}}, {{description}}
- Deduplication built in — no double posts on feed refresh
Toot to any Mastodon instance — feedloophq.com, mastodon.social, your own server, whatever. The OAuth flow asks for your instance URL up front. Auto-thread long posts into a reply chain so the 500-char limit never costs you a paragraph.
Frequently asked questions
- How does RSS to Mastodon work?
- Paste your RSS feed URL into Feedloop, pick your Mastodon account, and we poll the feed continuously. Yes — text-only RSS items publish fine, and Mastodon happily accepts a featured image if your feed includes one (most do via <media:content> or the first <img> in the description). The per-output template editor controls formatting, and the live preview shows exactly how the post will look on Mastodon before anything ships.
- Can I customize the Mastodon post template?
- Yes. Each output gets its own template with variable chips for {{title}}, {{description}}, and {{link}} — click to insert at the cursor instead of typing. You can write a different template for Mastodon than for, say, LinkedIn (same RSS source, different messaging per platform), and the preview re-renders as you type.
- Can I track clicks on the links Feedloop posts to Mastodon?
- Yes — the built-in link shortener wraps any outbound URL into a feedloophq.com/l/xxxxx redirect with UTM parameters tagged per platform. Click counts roll up per-link, so you can see exactly which Mastodon post drove which clicks without setting up Google Analytics.
- What happens if my RSS feed is slow or down?
- The poller retries with exponential backoff and never duplicates a post — we store the last item ID so even if the feed re-publishes, you won't see double posts on Mastodon.
