Hey there,
itâs been a while since our bookstore released a plugin, but in the past week, we decided to give the Mastodon API a go - this endeavour resulted in two libraries / wrappers, granting access to the âtootsâ (= âtweetsâ in Twitter lingo) in your timeline and much more. Images are downloaded to the $page being called (unless disabled) and all links from your posts/statuses/âtootsâ are preserved - example snippet included.
Wikipedia says:
Mastodon is free and open-source software for running self-hosted social networking services. It has microblogging features similar to the Twitter service, which are offered by a large number of independently run Mastodon nodes (known as âinstancesâ), each with its own code of conduct, terms of service, privacy options, and moderation policies
For us, using a decentralized approach to microblogging was intriguing, and when we got invited to join the (german) local non-profit freiburg.socialâs Mastodon instance, we rolled with it.
Later, we wanted to post individual âtootsâ as blog posts, also incorporating images (with the description provided on Mastodon), by providing its ID - but all available PHP solutions were a little outdated, so we began working on php-mastodon for OAuth handling and stuff - from there, developing a Kirby plugin wasnât far.
If anything is unclear, eg its documentation is lacking, the README is a little rough around the edges etc please let us know. If you need help setting it up, weâre here to help. If you understand german (not germans, thatâs a completely different issue 
) and have little kids, give our profile a look, where youâll find reading tips and more, childrenâs and youth literature, you got it!
Have a good time and enjoy your weekend
