Is there a way (via cli or by calling a snac function from a script) to poll and auto-accept follows to a certain profile, and then auto-boost all posts that mention that profile address?
The idea is to function like a group on the local server so that all followers will be able to see all toots addressed to the profile.
So user Bob is following user @boost. User Alice posts a status mentioning @boost. The account @boost automatically boosts the post from Alice. Then user Bob eventually can see the boosted post in the timeline.
If there is a way to hack or cobble this I'd probably rather go that route rather than trying to author C code for it. I haven't even tried to write C code for like 20 years, and even then I was not proficient at it. A hackety solution is just as good for my purpose, if anyone can suggest any.
I know I can emulate this behavior by scripting a mastodon client to do it with a cron job. But if there is a way to use snac commands or a config hack I would prefer it.
