[Feature Request]: Cross-post on Mastodon #1668

Open s3nnet opened 1 month ago

s3nnet commented 1 month ago

Feature Description

Use a X to Mastodon bridge or post seperately on Mastodon. Reasoning: X is a bloody mess. Open-source 3rd party clients for X are de facto read-only by now. Not to mention the political associations with X. By and large, Mastodon seems to be a better fit for a FOSS project like Publii anyway.

When you say cross-post, do you mean having your blog posts available to Mastodon users via the Activity Pub protocol (sort of like Plume and Write Freely)?

Are you hoping to track webmentions as well?

s3nnet commented 2 days ago

Nope... I mean switch to mastodon (preferred), or do both (fine) , or at least mirror x posts to mastodon (there is Buffer, Zapier and whatnot). There are different getpublii mastodon accounts to be found, so I guess Publii was screwing around with it at some point.

Ahhh, I understand what you're saying now. You're asking the Publii team to create a Mastodon account for the project, and post on there like they do on Twitter.

There are different getpublii mastodon accounts to be found, so I guess Publii was screwing around with it at some point.

Nothing's to say that those accounts were created by the official Publii team. Unless there's a verified link and rel=me tag, there's no way of knowing for sure (related discussion on Mastodon profile verifications for Publii sites: https://github.com/GetPublii/Publii/discussions/1485)

On a tangential note: it is possible to cross-post your indexed Publii posts to your Mastodon account via an RSS-ActivityPub bridge called MastoFeed. BridgyFed is also an interesting option.
