Cross-Posting?

There's quite a few services offering this sort of thing like Brid.gy (and fed.Brid.gy), IFTT (Zapier also), micro.blog (probably easiest and free accounts have cross-post ability last I checked), several Mastodon cross posters, and a variety of RSS to social tools, etc.

I'm using micro.blog to cross-post everything out from my Blot blog and it works very well.

The Indieweb wiki has a lot of info on this, browse around it.

I'm unlikely to add cross-posting features into Blot directly – I'd lean on using the RSS feed associated with your site with another service. I've heard lots of good things about IFTTT and Zapier

I guess I use the old fashioned method. I write a blog post and toot it on Mastodon. I also use webmention on Blot with brid.gy. Very easy after Ray helped with a few things. Finally, David helped me get brid.gy federated working but its a manual exercise. The webmention support is very nice if someone boosts or favorites or comments on a post you share on mastodon. Its relatively easy to setup and use with just adding things to a forked and used template.

Here's a sample:

Just read all the way down past the comment block (I use commento for that BTW) and you can see the mentions. I also use a basic webfinger thing for fun since it was easy to setup on blot.

Take care.

I just wanted to add this simple tool to automate posting blog posts to mastodon instances based on the blog's RSS feed. It's free to use and I just tested it and it works. I did not see how to add tags so I think will see about that and play with it some more. Its here:
