FediBoost

fediboost_fallback_delay

Delay in seconds before a boost is executed when the ActivityPub federation completion hook does not fire. This acts as a safety net for older versions of the ActivityPub plugin that do not support the activitypub_outbox_processing_complete hook. If the federation hook fires first, the fallback is cancelled and fediboost_boost_delay is used instead. Default: 300 (5 minutes).

Parameters:

• $delay (int) — The fallback delay in seconds.

Example:

add_filter( 'fediboost_fallback_delay', function( $delay ) { // Wait 10 minutes in the fallback path. return 600; } );

fediboost_manage_capability

WordPress capability required to manage FediBoost settings. Default: ‘manage_options’. Note: a floor of ‘edit_others_posts’ is enforced regardless of this filter’s return value, so you cannot lower the requirement below that capability.

Parameters:

• $capability (string) — The required capability.

Example:

add_filter( 'fediboost_manage_capability', function( $capability ) { // Allow editors to manage FediBoost settings. return 'edit_others_posts'; } );

fediboost_max_accounts

Maximum number of connected Mastodon accounts. Default: 10.

Parameters:

• $max (int) — The maximum number of accounts.

Example:

add_filter( 'fediboost_max_accounts', function( $max ) { // Allow up to 25 connected accounts. return 25; } );

fediboost_ignore_self_boosts

Whether reposts from connected Mastodon accounts are discarded instead of being recorded as “repost” interactions on the post. Default: true.

Parameters:

• $ignore (bool) — Whether to discard the repost.
• $commentdata (array) — Comment data for the incoming repost.

Example:

// Keep recording reposts from connected accounts. add_filter( 'fediboost_ignore_self_boosts', '__return_false' );<h3>External Services</h3>

FediBoost connects to external Mastodon instances that you configure (e.g., mastodon.social). This communication is essential for the plugin to function and is initiated only with the instance you explicitly provide.

During setup:

• FediBoost registers an OAuth application on your Mastodon instance and performs an authorization flow so it can act on your behalf.

When a post is published:

• FediBoost searches for the post on your Mastodon instance and performs a reblog (boost) via the Mastodon API.

Data sent to your Mastodon instance:

• Your instance URL
• OAuth authorization codes
• Search queries to locate your posts
• Reblog (boost) requests

Data stored locally on your WordPress site:

• Encrypted OAuth tokens
• Your Mastodon username
• Your Mastodon instance URL

Each Mastodon instance has its own privacy policy and terms of service. You can find a list of instances and their policies at joinmastodon.org/servers .

This plugin does not send data to any third-party service other than the Mastodon instance(s) you explicitly configure.
