Linking your Hubzilla account with Twitter Quitter StatusNet

Source: Mike Macgirvin (edited by kr)

You can link Hubzilla with external services so that your posts on Hubzilla get forwarded and posted to other services. Thus you can have Hubzilla as your "master" social network where you post, and people who aren't yet on Hubzilla can still read your updates on other services.

Your administrator needs to configure the OAuth stuff in the admin screens for the Twitter plugin.

Then, each user will see a checkbox to post to twitter/GNU-social/whatever in the permission dialogue (lock icon under the post). You can also select "post by default" in Settings/Feature/Addon settings to avoid ticking the box.

The API path will be https://blah.blah/api/ - the trailing slash seems to be important, as is "/api".

One "gotcha" is that posts have to be public (visible to anybody on the internet) to cross-post to one of these services as they have no permission controls. If this conflicts with your channel permissions, your channel permissions win.
