Share on Mastodon Plugin

Automatically share WordPress posts on Mastodon.

You choose which post types are shared, and sharing can still be disabled on a per-post basis.

Supports WordPress’ new block editor, image uploads and alt text, “template tags,” and comes with a number of filter hooks for developers.

More details can be found on this plugin’s web page.
