Boosting/Resharing others' Mastodon posts

To boost others' posts using Publer, simply follow these steps:

Find the post you want to boost.
Copy the URL of the post.
Paste the URL in the text editor.

This will create a boost of the chosen post​. You can view it directly on the Post Preview on the right side.

Keep in mind, you should not add any text in the caption or the spoiler field, as that will convert it into a normal link post.




Specify the language of the Mastodon post (optional) and schedule the boost accordingly.

Note: The Links/URLs will always count as 23 characters, no matter their length.

Boosting/Resharing your own posts using AutoShare

If you want to boost your own posts, you can use Publer's AutoShare feature.

Create your post.
Choose the Mastodon account on the left for which you want to create a post.
