No nonsense, just works.

Perfect Plugin

Does exactly what it should, and does it well. This is the plugin you are looking for if you are reading this review!

I like this plug-in better than the built-in WordPress mastodon sharing

By brianhurley on June 25, 2023

I tried them all… and this is the best. I recommend this over the wordpress default automatic mastodon sharing functionality.

I appreciate the work the developer put into this!👍👍

Great plugin

The plugin does exactly what I wanted. The preview/editing widget in the admin panel is great.

Works great

This plugin does exactly what it says it will. No complaints on it at all and the developer seems to be on top of fixing, and adding features. Keep up the good work!

Excellent Support and Features

This plugin has always worked amazing for me and also supports hooks that allow for additional customization. I would highly recommend it as my first choice for anyone looking for this functionality.

It works perfect

The installation is very simple and the developer gives great support. It works fantastic.

Very simple, for better or worse

By BlijdorperB on January 8, 2023

Very easy to install and setup, it simply posts the title of your post and its url to Mastodon. I would like to see a slight increase in customisability, so you could maybe add some default text and hashtags to that post (''New post from This Blog: [title][url] # # # ''). If thats not added I'll likely move away from this plugin to a more advanced one.

Poor at detecting valid URLs

By MaFt on December 30, 2022

UPDATE: This was user error, apparently you need to include the https:// too

Unable to use this as it claims that 'botsin.space' is an invalid URL/instance.

Very nice plugin

This plugin does exactly what it promises to do: share my posts on Mastodon. Initial setup is very simple and it works right away in basic form. There is a lot of fine-tuning available and it's not difficult to get it working the way you like it. Just visit Jan Boddez's blog to get the details on how to do this. Tested with WordPress version 6.03.
