    Relevant Tech Stack Info:
    WordPress 6.4.2
    FS Poster Lite
    ActivityPub
    Share On Mastodon
    Share On Pixelfed
    X Poster

    Thank you for creating this plugin ????.

    Background:
    I adopted FS Poster Lite for posting to a Reddit Profile and a Reddit Community.

    Observation:
    FS Poster Lite only shares posts to social media when publishing from the WordPress Administrative backend. Irrational

    All of the above WordPress Plugins (except for FS Poster Lite) contain settings for auto-sharing newly published / updated posts when utilizing a mobile-first administrative workflow. This means posting from within mobile applications created by Automattic (Jetpack App and WordPress Official App) will post content to a wide range of social media.

    Unlike the others, FS Poster Lite only syndicates posted content when publishing from the WordPress Administrative Backend.

    Can this functionality within FS Poster Lite be updated to work with official ‘third-party’ mobile applications?

    Hi there!

    The FS Poster lite version has limited features and you can get the Pro version to have all features of the plugin. FS Poster lite version requires you to post content from the WordPress Administrative Backend.

    Best Regards,

    FS Poster.

    Your response neglects to state in an open and forthright manner that spending money on the paid version of FS Poster would solve my workflow issue.

    Your response to my user experience issue is simply to give you money. Not. Born. Yesterday.

    Also…

    Research into your product and future business model reveal that you are moving into a SaaS form of consumer capture.

    So if I were to spend money on the paid version of FS Poster today – how long of a product life could I possibly expect to enjoy before a notice appears that I must pay more money… and pay every single month?

    Important Questions:

    -Does FS Poster (Paid) post to all social networks without limitations while enabling auto share from the mobile versions of the Official WordPress and Jetpack Applications?

    -Will FS Poster (Paid) continue to function without limitation of functionality as a standalone application independent of your planned SaaS version?

    -Will you diligently provide continued support for your FS Poster (Paid) plugin without prioritizing your SaaS customers?

    We do not force you to pay. It is how the Lite and Pro versions work. You cannot expect to have the same features as the Lite and Pro versions of any product.

    1. Not yet. The sharing posts with the WordPress App feature is in the development phase. It will be added to the pro version in the future.
    2. Yes, the SaaS version will be a different product and we do not move this version to a cloud form.
    3. Yes.

    I’ve never felt forced to purchase your plugin, I may have felt misled with regard to your recommended solution of “move to the paid version for full functionality” as answer to my inquiry relating to triggering compatibility when posting from Official WordPress and Jetpack mobile apps.

    Especially in light of…

    The answer being no – your recommended solution of buying the paid version would not solve my problem; it would not even address my problem. The paid version would only possibly upon some future date maybe address the issue.

    This is why I ask pointed follow-ups when my initial inquiries are answered vaguely and with “throw money at it, may not work, but you’ll feel you tried.” It’s not a course of action I’m comfortable with following, personally. Makes me feel prickly.

    Thank you for coming around to providing a direct answer.
