Posting Tweets to Mastodon
Automatically have your Twitter post to your Mastodon
So maybe like me, you’re thinking of diversifying your social media presence beyond Twitter and onto Mastodon. I don’t want to have to manually post on both right now, and it is too early to focus just on Mastodon since most of the people I connect with are not there yet, they’re still on Twitter. I want to build for the future now by posting my tweets on Mastodon.
One way to build a presence on any new site is to have what you post on an old site get posted to the new one automatically. That’s where a tool that posts your tweets on Mastodon for you comes in. I was going to try 3 tools to automatically post my Twitter on my Mastodon, and review them all. But the first I tried seemed to do the job; I haven’t needed to see how the others work. I’ll stay with it unless the first one goes offline or stops working. I’ll mention the other two here in the case when you read this one of them is a better solution.
Without getting too technical, these tools will check your Twitter for new tweets, and then post them on Mastodon for you, automatically. That is what’s supposed to happen; unless something breaks or goes offline, it should work as designed once it is set up.
