Same problem as you. From what I found, you need an admin account on the Facebook city account. Then, you can build a bot to cross post to mastodon, RSS, whatever.
But seems like you cannot do it with your own Facebook account.

Or maybe Meta’s walled garden is impenetrable to scraping?
afaik, that's the case for Instagram. After scouring the internet for frontends, there are 3 archetypes:
- black boxes like imginn, gets you images and nothing else. no source code to audit, self-host, or build an API
- self-hostable frontends that get rate limited almost instantly, even for a single user
- proper alternative clients that got cease-and-desisted into the ground
They did a great job making a panopticon, closed to the outside, yet devoid of privacy
imginn and instaloader for instagram is the only option(?)s i'm aware of sadly.. facebook/meta's anti-bot measures are very intense.
