Edward MarcotteRichard, with the increasing migration of science Twitter to sites like Mastodon, what are the prospects for adding a Mastodon sharing option, and more importantly, adding Mastodon to Altmetric article metrics in bioRxiv and medrXiv? For obvious reasons, supporting science dissemination by sustainable, non-commercial social media sources seems more important than ever.
admin@edward_marcotte @richardsever we would be interested in making an API endpoint to index posts with DOIs (or links that can resolve to DOIs and other PIDs) to support this without doing full -instance indexing. plz be in touch, we'd love to be a seed point for experimenting with ethical academia on the fediverse
Andrei Kucharavy@admin @edward_marcotte @richardsever you would need to have a tag to anchor the dois to, just per how Mastodon works - at least right now.

yes I have prototyped an external parser for dereferencing shortlinks on masto and also just have been tinkering around with a fork that does a lot of the UI you would need to do to implement it in browser ( https://wiki.neuromatch.io/Mastodon/Mathjax ) so I think it would be maybe a months work?
