How can I integrate with Mastodon/Fediverse?
Is there a way what I post on Mastodon can become a blog post on blot.im?
And the other way round: is there a way to automatically post by blot posts onto Mastodon?
Yes, on both counts. There are many roads which lead to Rome but my instinct is to make the connection between Blot and Mastodon using RSS:
To get posts from Mastodon to Blot, use the RSS feed generated by mastodon in combination with a service like IFTTT to generate text files in your Dropbox when new RSS feed items appear on Mastodon
To get posts from Blot to Mastodon, use the RSS feed generated by Blot in combination with MastoFeed
There are many ways to solve this problem though, so the above is simply a suggestion. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else

Answered a year ago · Edit answerAnother thing documented here is to use webmentions on your blot blog. It's pretty easy to setup and you will get comments, boosts, and favorites showing up on your blog posts you share on mastodon. I used mastofeed to test it out and it works okay. Sometimes it seems there is a delay for the blogpost to show up on mastodon.social.
Now if I write a blogpost here, mastofeed shares it on mastodon.social, and if some person comments or whatever, I get that back on the blog.
