Share on Mastodon

73 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With only about 1,000 active installs, it is a niche plugin, but it still beat the baseline threshold thanks to a clear use case.

Update Freshness

22/25

Updated within the last week relative to the data and explicitly tested against WordPress 6.9.4, which is exceptional currency.

User Rating

14/15

A 96 out of 100 from 10 ratings is a strong signal, though the small sample size means it should be read as promising rather than conclusive.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened is impressive and suggests either a low-friction plugin or simply a small user base; the latter is the more likely explanation.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires WordPress 5.9 and PHP 7.2, and is tested up to 6.9.4, so it covers the vast majority of installations comfortably.

What It Does

Share on Mastodon automatically publishes new WordPress posts to a configured Mastodon account, letting site owners cross-post to the fediverse without copy/paste. It targets a single instance and a single account, which keeps setup straightforward but limits multi-account workflows. The plugin focuses purely on outbound syndication, so it does not handle replies, threads, or incoming interactions.

Who It's For

This is a good fit for individual bloggers, indie writers, and small organizations that already maintain a Mastodon presence and want every new post to land there automatically. It suits users who want a lightweight, single-purpose tool rather than a full ActivityPub server. Solo creators and small teams who post infrequently but consistently will get the most out of it.

Who Should Skip It

If you run a multi-author publication, manage several Mastodon accounts, or need a full two-way fediverse bridge (incoming replies, follow requests, comments via ActivityPub), you should look elsewhere. Sites that need image-heavy or thread-style posts to be handcrafted on Mastodon before publishing are also not great candidates for an auto-share workflow.

The Bottom Line

Share on Mastodon does one thing well and is clearly maintained, but its 1,000 installs and zero support threads mean you are betting on a small, focused project rather than a large community. It is the right pick for solo creators who want a set-and-forget bridge to a single Mastodon account. Anyone needing multi-account posting, image handling, or a two-way fediverse experience should look at ActivityPub or XPoster instead.

Related Plugins

ActivityPub 76/100

Pick this if you want a full fediverse presence on your own site, including inbound follows and replies, rather than just outbound cross-posting.

Autopost for X (formerly Autoshare for Twitter) 79/100

Choose this instead if your audience lives on X rather than Mastodon, or if you want a more battle-tested plugin with 5,000 installs.

XPoster – Share to Bluesky and Mastodon 77/100

Opt for this if you need to syndicate to both Bluesky and Mastodon from a single plugin, which Share on Mastodon does not offer.

FeedWordPress 78/100

Pick this if your goal is to aggregate or syndicate feeds in or out, rather than push each new post to a single Mastodon account.

Broadcast 76/100

Choose this if you need to broadcast the same post across multiple WordPress sites or destinations in a more configurable way.
