telegram-group2mastodon
telegram-group2mastodon is a Telegram bot to post messages from a Telegram group to Mastodon. It's written in Go and it is relased under the AGPL3+. Since the bot must be able to read all the messages you should use it only on public groups.
Installation

Build the bot (for example if version is v0.1.0 and you are on a unix system):
cd /tmp; GOPATH=/tmp/go go install noa.mornie.org/eriol/telegram-group2mastodon@v0.1.0
You will find the binary at
/tmp/go/bin/telegram-group2mastodon
. You don't need to setGOPATH
if you already have it set and you are fine having the bot installed there. -
Create your bot using Telegram @BotFather.
