Hi, some time ago, I showed a screenshot how I am using
Org-Mode to manage my mastodon status updates
(posts/toos) [1] and I got some direct messages about
sharing my elisp functions and I publicly [2] stated
that the code is not production ready, but I will
rework this.
Sorry - it took a bit too long but with that mail, I
want to share my defun's with you. First and most
important, I do think that using [3] mastodon.el is way
better than using my elisp functions. However, when
you're interested in a handful, very small functions to
post to mastodon, and manage them with org-mode, you
may have a look at the attached file. Or someone is
interested in polishing things up and adding an
org-contrib package for this?
My process:
- Use org-capture to create a new mastodon status
update (at least, tag it with :toot:)
- Write a message
- add images with "attachment:/" URLs. Those
images will be uploaded as media and integrated
in the status update
- call `x/mastodon-post'
- after success, PROPERTIES will be added like
Mastodon ID, URL/URI and Media IDs
- optionally, create a single-file Post with
the org-dispatch interface (this is a custom
export backend that is not included with this
email, check [4] for further details how to set
things up)
A reply to an existing mastodon post is sent when
a Mastodon_ID is found in the properties drawer one
level above.
This is what that looks like with my setup:

Currently, I do have one dependency (requests.el). I
would have loved to remove this and use
url-retireve-synchronously but I were not able to
upload binary data with it. If anyone has an idea
on that, please check out [5].
Please note: I bcc'ed to mastodon Users who replied to
the thread/direct messaged me and I was able to derive
an email address - so they get some form of follow up
notification on this.
