+# Autotoot
+Autotoot is designed to take posts from a scraper (eg, Reddit) and post them on Mastodon. The scripts should be general purpose enough
+that you can plug your own things in. For example, one could write their own scraper and plug in to the existing Mastodon bot. This repo
+is very much a work in progress.
 
+### Pip requirements:
+    - Mastodon.py
+    - praw
+you can run `pip3 install Mastodon.py praw` to install both of these.
