If you want to quickly see if there is a new post on the server cyberland.bobignou.red, you can do

cyberland new_posts cyberland.bobignou.red

Note: this command requires that you give the server's URL without http:// or https:// in front of the URL.

You should now have all the info you need to use this client.

Board selection

By default, this program tries to connect to cyberland.bobignou.red. I left in the code URLs of old Cyberland servers but they are not open. If you want to use an other server, simply use the full URL of the board.

Filters

To filter the content of some spammers, you can choose to ignore some posts by putting their content in the file ~/.config/cyberland.lua/filter. A post will be filtered out only if it matches exactly one of the lines of the file.

Instalation

You need to have lua 5.3 installed to your machine.

Doing sudo make install should install it. I assume that you have a lua interpreter to the path /usr/local/bin/lua. If it is not the case, you should correct the first line of cyberland.lua.

Librairy

This program uses and includes the json.lua librairy made by github user rxi and published under the MIT licence. https://github.com/rxi/json.lua
