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

brianhurley 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.
