Mastodon Service

Details
Category: Services
  • Applicable Software: MokonyxSocial
  • Min Version Number: 01.03.12
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

Credentials

  • Instance URL — Your Mastodon server (e.g., https://mastodon.social). Default: https://mastodon.social.
  • Access Token — Generate in your instance's Preferences, Development, New Application.

Setup Steps

  1. Log into your Mastodon instance.
  2. Go to Preferences, Development, New Application.
  3. Give it a name (e.g., MokonyxSocial) and grant write:statuses permission.
  4. Copy the generated access token.
  5. Enter the instance URL and token in MokonyxSocial.

Limits

500 characters (default, may vary by instance). Media attachments are supported.

Best Practices

  • Use the correct instance URL. The token is tied to the instance where you created the application, so the URL and token must match.
  • Grant only what is needed. The write:statuses scope is enough to publish posts; avoid granting broader permissions.
  • Mind the character limit. Keep the intro text concise so the post is not truncated on instances with a 500-character cap.

Verifying It Works

After saving the service, publish (or re-save a published) test article and check both your Mastodon timeline and the MokonyxSocial Activity Logs to confirm delivery.
