Zulip Mastodon integration

Fetch public posts (sometimes called “toots”) of individual accounts or federated hashtags from Mastodon in Zulip!

While Zulip doesn't integrate directly with ActivityPub or the overall Fediverse, some ActivityPub servers, like Mastodon, publish RSS feeds that can be followed in Zulip using the Zapier or RSS integrations.

Due to the complexities of Mastodon federation, following a hashtag on one homeserver does not guarantee that all posts in the entire Fediverse will be included in the feed. Rather, all public posts that have federated to the instance in question will be included. This means you may get different results for the same hashtag, depending on which homeserver you choose to subscribe through.

  • Instructions for all platforms

  1. Find the RSS feed for the account or hashtag you'd like to follow. Usually, this means appending .rss to its Mastodon URL. For example:

    • To follow Zulip's Mastodon account at https://fosstodon.org/@zulip, you would use https://fosstodon.org/@zulip.rss.
    • To follow the #zulip hashtag at https://fosstodon.org/tags/zulip, you would use https://fosstodon.org/tags/zulip.rss.

  2. Follow the Zapier integration guide (recommended) or the plain RSS integration guide using this feed URL.

You're done! Your Mastodon notifications may look like this:
