The Post is shared on Mastodon only if manually edited

The Post is shared on Mastodon only if manually edited. If a Post is created with API without the editor, the Post is not shared. You have to go manually and Update the article to be shared.

Correct. You can force sharing, however, by adding the following to, e.g., your theme's functions.php.

// Always share supported Post Types.
add_filter( 'share_on_mastodon_enabled', '__return_true' );

This filter supports additional parameters, too (like, if you wanted to share only certain categories, etc.): https://jan.boddez.net/wordpress/share-on-mastodon#share_on_mastodon_enabled.

Excellent! Worked perfectly. Thanks for posting the code snippet. Closing issue...
