Mastodon

Use the Mastodon connector to post status updates and media through Mastodon OAuth.

What you need

  • A Mastodon account.

  • OAuth app credentials for your Mastodon instance (or mastodon.social).

Configure credentials

Set these connector values in Japella settings:

  • mastodon.client_id

  • mastodon.client_secret

The connector uses these for OAuth and account authorization.

Notes

  • Japella defaults to https://mastodon.social when no homeserver is configured.

  • Media uploads are sent to Mastodon’s media API before creating a status.

Add an account

  1. Open Japella and go to social accounts.

  2. Choose Add social account and select Mastodon.

  3. Complete the OAuth flow.

  4. Test a post to confirm your account is connected.
