Tiny app to post simultaneously to Mastodon and Bluesky.
Obviously, based on cuducos/from-my-ex.
It supports:
- Post status updates to both networks with a simple CLI command or GUI interface
- Posting with images
- Including alt text for images
- Setting post language
It does not support:
- Tagging other users (they would have different IDs and servers in each platform)
- Python 3.9 or newer

$ pip install not-my-exIf you want to use the GUI, pip install not-my-ex[gui].
$ not-my-ex "Magic, madness, heaven, sin" --images /tmp/1989.gifYou can skip --images or pass multiple images (e.g. --images taylor.jpg --images swift.gif).
If you have installed the GUI extra:
$ not-my-ex-guiThis is how it looks like:
from asyncio import gather
from httpx import AsyncClient
from not_my_ex.bluesky import Bluesky
from not_my_ex.mastodon import Mastodon
from not_my_ex.media import Media
from not_my_ex.post import Post
async def main():
media_tasks = tuple(
Media.from_img(path, alt=alt)
for path, alt in (("taylor.jpg", "Taylor"), ("swift.jpg", "Swift"))
)
media = await gather(*media_tasks)
post = Post(text="Magic, madness, heaven, sin", media=media, lang="en")
async with AsyncClient() as http:
post_tasks = tuple(cls(http).post(post) for cls in (Bluesky, Mastodon))
await gather(*post_tasks)In Post, both media and lang are optional. In Media, alt is optional.
