cohost support

[robertoszek]

I'm thinking on maybe adding support for mirroring to cohost accounts. It's not part of the Fediverse but perhaps there's enough demand for using it as a target.

So far, I have a little proof of concept that logs in, retrieves profile info and the date of the last post. Haven't been able to continue working on it as my account can't post anything yet (30,000 accounts ahead of mine waiting for activation). 😅

Their API is a little wonky (no tokens, so only password or cookies can be used for authentication) but looking at this project would be at least helpful to start with: https://github.com/valknight/Cohost.py

Potentially relevant: it's not clear how long they're going to stay up. https://cohost.org/staff/post/1690393-h1-2023-financial-up https://www.deweysquare.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/DSG-Snapshot-of-the-Twitter-Migration-June-2023.pdf
