Example shortcode for mastodon

[mastodon exclude_replies="true" limit=5 pinned="true"]

I wrote what Mastodon actually feels like from the inside of a specific community — not the structural case (that was part 1), but what shared context does to what you can write.

some of it is easy to show:

→ a post on mastodon.scot about independence referendum discourse doesn’t explain what the SNP is. the community already has that context. the post can start further into the argument.

→ on infosec.exchange, a CVE drops and technical analysis starts within minutes. precision norms mean vague claims get corrected — not hostilely, but by people who think carefully about what can and can’t be asserted.

the pattern: when a community already knows what you know, you can start further into whatever you’re trying to say.

I’m hosting @Mastodon‘s first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It’s a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.

We’ll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there’s an async option if you can’t make the live sessions!

Other options, here are the defaults:

'only_media' => false,
'pinned' => false, //only display pinned status
'exclude_replies' => false,
'max_id' => null,
'since_id' => null,
'min_id' => null,
'limit' => 5, //mastodon limit is 20
'exclude_reblogs' => false,
'show_header' => true,

Any of these can be overridden in the shortcode, for example:

[mastodon exclude_reblogs="true" exclude_replies="false", limit="20", show_header="false"]
