Welcome to the big leagues! Buffer’s popular social media management software can now schedule and post to Mastodon.

Coywolf: Buffer adds Mastodon to its social media management platform >>> https://www.coywolf.news/social/buffer-adds-mastodon/

Companies typically have social media marketing teams, and they rely on software to monitor mentions, schedule posts and analyze engagement... but none have supported Mastodon. That is, until now.

@mastodonmigration

On one hand I’m glad this exists because it adds legitimacy to the platform, but it also encourages influencer culture which could damage Mastodon’s community feel

@mastodonmigration "none have supported Mastodon"

Gee, I guess the first one is now completely forgotten :)

I know, but unfortunately the person who wrote it didn't even bother to google it!

@albattran That must be frustrating. Probably a good idea to make another announcement about your product soon. How does it compare to Buffer on a feature per feature basis? Also, your website does not have any information about Mastodon. It would seem that if you want the media to run with a tweepsmap/Mastodon story, you will need to do more promotion of the capability.

@mastodonmigration fair enough, we need to promote it a lot more

We do have it here:
https://tweepsmap.com/blog/social-media-scheduling-tools-mastodon/

And on our plans page
https://tweepsmap.com/signup/

Publishing is only a part of our service, it does a lot more than that (And Mastodon has a lot more features coming besides publishing)
But I will get the team to add more mentions of Mastodon on the site... and yeah, it is frustrating how the media sidelines us.

@mastodonmigration as for comparing, I don't know how they work, they haven't even launched it (and that's the frustrating part about it being "BIG NEWS", ours has been out for months)

But doubt they have poll support, and maybe even threads.... which they added recently for twitter (we have had it for 4 years!)

@mastodonmigration I think I heard on the RiskyBiz @riskybusiness Podcast that Cloudflare were also getting involved, although I’m not to sure how to feel about that.

@mastodonmigration Does Buffer have a way to include CW on Mastodon posts published through Buffer?

And have they indicated which plans will include Mastodon functionality?
