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.

Hashtagging the unique part of the DOI should work? Then pressing the Mastodon button on biorxiv can toot the preprint title with the unique hashtag & a link back to the article.
Richard Sever@iddux @edward_marcotte yeah - this has been discussed a few times here and some sort of #tinydoiwithoutpunctuation was my suggestion
jordan@richardsever @iddux @edward_marcotte There are also plenty of papers without DOIs (few-year-old arXiv preprints come to mind as a major one)...
Perhaps an inline automated rewrite of paper URLs to something like an OpenAlex ID? (Not sure of the status of that project, but it's been an awesome everypaper-identifier for my projects in the past!)
@richardsever @iddux @edward_marcotte Got it — lost in the tangle of toot UI! (I'm personally a bioRxiv'er way more than an arxiver so I'm glad we'll get the cool features first 😍)
