Update: Add TootFeedBot bot

[awtj8o81ryywg793]

Description

Add TootFeedBot bridge. Closes #1673.

I've marked all values of bridges.supports as false since I'm not the maintainer of, or a contributor to, this bridge, and therefore I'm not sure what the bridge supports. @urmaul, would you be able to help here? Let me know if any other values need to be changed (e.g., maturity, etc.).

✔️ Checklist

• Keep this checklist
• Check for common mistakes:
  • Wrap plain URLs in <> to linkify them (learn more).
  • Use the right level of headings: The page title will use a level 1 headings, so your headings should use level 2 and below.
  • Use internal links: when linking to another page on https://matrix.org, use the Zola [label](@/target.md) syntax.
• For blog posts:
  • Verify the date and post ordering on the /blog page, especially for multiple posts on the same day. Prefer UTC format, e.g. 2025-12-01T14:00:00Z for Dec 1st, 2025, 2pm UTC.
  • Set the correct author and category. Browse existing ones at https://matrix.org/author/ and https://matrix.org/category/ to match them.
• If you hold a specific role in relation to the content you are contributing, such as project maintainer or on behalf of a team or organisation, please let us know. See example.
• If your PR is time-sensitive in any way, please mention the attached timeline and context in the PR description.
• Mention any issues related to the PR. Use GitHub keywords as appropriate.
• Your individual commits or pull request is signed off.

I'd say it's stable but probably there are no users except me so Beta is fine.

Is there any documentation on [bridges.supports]?

• It somewhat supports media, by posting media links to Matrix and relying on the URL previews to show them and I'm not sure whether it's true or false.
• There are no such things as DMs in Mastodon. You can only publish a post visible only to the users you mentioned. TootFeedBot supports them in terms of "you can see messages sent to you". No replying because of the read-only access. Does that mean that dm = false?

So, three things where I'm not sure, everything else looks good.

I would expect a bridge that "supports" media to post the media in both bridged platform's native way. On Matrix side, that means an m.image event.

I think neither dm nor group apply here.

Over all, as far as I understand the functionality, it seems much more similar to an RSS subscription than a chat bridge. So perhaps bridge isn't the best match for this project, but https://matrix.org/ecosystem/integrations/ would be a better fit?

That's something that crossed my mind not long after opening the PR. Given the uni-directional nature of this project, I support your suggestion to add it as an integration rather than a bridge. As you say, it is more similar to an RSS integration than a bi-directional bridge.

Of course, if we change how we categorise this project (i.e., as an integration instead of a bridge), we would no longer need to worry about advertising the specific functions the project supports.
