Text post with photo(s)	Yes	Text post with photo(s)
Text post with link(s)	Yes	Text post with link(s)

Text post with polls	~	Just text post for now

*One message with original post's text and attachments and one message with repost's text and attachments

In addition, bot can skip ads posts if in config.py

skipAdsPosts = True

How bot works

• Bot sends and receives request from vk api [get.wall method]
• Then bot compares the id from last_known_id.txt with the id of the last post
• If skipAdsPosts = True in config.py bot will skip ads posts
• If id of the last post is larger than id from last_known_id.txt the bot will write a new id to the file and call the function parsePosts()
• parsePosts() parses attachments from posts (or reposts if exists) and calls sendPosts() to send them to Telegram
• Then bot is waiting for the period settled by the user and starts again
