matrix-feeder

Matrix feeder is a matrix bot that monitors defined channels for media and posts them to another channel.

Why

I have lots of rooms where hobbyists post railway related photos and videos, usually there is lots of noise between them so I decided to channel these into one room to be able to see them as a feed.
