<p>I’ve previously talked about how I <ahref="https://example.org/articles/micropub-syndication-targets-and-crossposting-to-mastodon/">crosspost from this blog to my Mastodon account</a> without the need for a third-party service, and how I leverage WordPress’s hook system to even enable toot threading.</p><p>In this post, I’m going to really quickly explain my (extremely similar) Twitter setup. (Note: I don’t actually syndicate <em>this</em> blog’s posts to Twitter, but I <em>do</em> use this very setup on another site of mine.)</p>
<p>I liked the idea of a dead-simple Twitter plugin, so I forked my Mastodon plugin and tweaked a few things here and there. Once I’ve installed it, and created a developer account, generated the necessary keys, and let WordPress know about them, things look, well, <em>very</em> familiar. In fact, crossposting should now <em>just work</em>.</p>
<p>Now, to enable this when posting through Micropub rather than WordPress’s admin interface! Again, since posting through Micropub means no WordPress interface, and thus no “meta box” and no checkbox, and no way for WordPress to know if I wanted to crosspost a certain article or not, I’m going to have to use …<em>syndication targets</em> (which were invented precisely for this reason).</p>
