To do so, start your post with -``` -@IDF_Planets@solarsystem.social -``` -Then, make sure that the post visibility is set to "private": depending on the client you are using, this could be something similar to "@", "mentioned people only", "direct message", or the mailbox symbol. The bot will search for these private messages every 5 minutes, and then repost everything that comes after `@IDF_Planets` directly from the @IDF_Planets account. - -Please be careful, as every direct message to @IDF_Planets is reposted if this account follows you! If this causes problems, we will deactivate this functionality. diff --git a/social-media.md b/social-media.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c5fe6cc5ac --- /dev/null +++ b/social-media.md @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- +layout: post +title: Social Media +description: Follow us on Mastodon and Bluesky, and migrate your Slack team to Mattermost +image: assets/images/neptune.jpg +image-show: false +nav-menu: true +show-tile: true +order: 9 +--- + +## Mastodon and Bluesky + +Ile-de-France Planets is on Mastodon and Bluesky!
