A Wordpress Plugin that automatically posts your new articles to Mastodon https://wordpress.org/plugins/autopost-to-mastodon/
Currently the posting of Title/Link/Hashtags or Title/Content/Link/Hashtags is better for cross-posting longer blog articles which tend to have titles whereas status updates often don’t have titles.
From a UI perspective, it would also optionally be nice to have some type of character counter for the primary text box to fit into Mastodon’s guidelines. I recall there having been a plugin that did just this which might be repurposed: https://wordpress.org/plugins/character-count-for-post-content-excerpt/
To be able to switch between the various modes Title/Link/Hashtags; Title/Content/Link/Hashtags; and potentially this new Body/Link/Hashtags it would be nice if the Mastodon Autopost meta box had the option to also select between them in addition to the “Post to Mastodon” checkbox.
Dear chris,
thanks for your in depth comment and idea!
Currentl hellexis and I join forces to work together on a new/reworked mastodon plugin.
We base our work on the mastodon share plugin. Because of that, this plugin is currently only in bugfix/maintainance mode and will be deprecated in the end of April.
Please have a look on helixes plugin https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mastodon-share/ as that one is the one we will continue. It gives you a better possibility to configure the post.
Thanks,
