I'm writting a bot (again), and while browsing through my old code to remind me of how the API works, I've been reminded of that time I wrote a bot using the Mastodon API wrapper for Python. But the bot was hosted on a Pleroma instance (our pleroma).

Turns out, Pleroma doesn't (or didn't at the time) have a streaming API like Mastodon does. So what I did was to create a class that simulated a streaming API, by constantly reading the notifications and checking if there were new notifications since the last time checked, and then using a callback passing the notification to it.

All because I didn't want to write my own API wrapper and I wanted to stick to Mastodon.py. But it worked.
