Hey, I hope this is the right community for this question :))

I volunteer at a local place, but they only communicate through a facebook group that I never check. My question is -

Is there a way to get a notification, whenever there’s a new post in the group, hopefully through some FOSS :))

Put simply, a bot that interfaces with external services and replicates messages to/from a Matrix chat. The software is at matrix.org

Tried that for messaging once. It worked for like 2 days until facebook decided someone had “hacked” my account and I needed to reset my password. Didn’t help that the matrix bridge was very flaky and nigh impossible to set back up again after it failed, without just deleting the entire matrix database and starting from scratch. Not recommended.
