Post automatically to Mastodon

Learn how to connect your WordPress.com account to Mastodon so newly published blog posts are automatically shared on Mastodon.

To connect a Mastodon profile to your site so that posts are automatically shared to Mastodon, follow these steps:

1. From your site’s dashboard, navigate to Jetpack → Social.
2. Click the “Connect an account” button.
3. In the Manage Jetpack Social connections screen, click the Connect button next to Mastodon.

4. In the new window that opens:
   • Sign in to your Mastodon account.
   • Approve the connection to WordPress.com by selecting Authorize.
5. After returning to WordPress.com, another pop-up window will confirm the account you want to connect to. Click the Confirm button to complete the process.

Now, when you share a post, it will be automatically shared to your Mastodon Page.

As an alternative to connecting your site to Mastodon through Jetpack Social, you can enable the Fediverse feature for your WordPress.com site. This makes your blog itself a part of the Social Web—an open, decentralized social network that includes Mastodon and many other platforms.

Benefits of becoming a part of the Social Web:

• People on Mastodon and other Social Web platforms can follow your blog directly, just like any other user.
• Posts from your site appear natively in followers’ timelines, with replies coming back as blog comments.
• No need to manage separate cross-posting connections—your blog is discoverable and interactive across the entire Social Web.
