Mastodon¶
Anton offers the option of displaying «news» from Mastodon on the home page or on a dedicated news page.
The Anton demo archive (https://kr.anton.ch) uses the server of Anoxinon e.V., an association committed to data protection and free software: social.anoxinon.de. Setting up an account there is very straightforward.
For the set-up in Anton, the server address (e.g. https://social.anoxinon.de) and the user ID are needed. The user ID can be looked up at prouser123.me/mastodon-userid-lookup/. Anton can display the timeline at the bottom left ("home_left": true) or bottom right ("home_right": true) of the home page, or create a dedicated news page that is then reachable from the main navigation ("extra_page": true). We then store these details in the setting mastodon:
{
"instance_uri":"https:\/\/social.anoxinon.de",
"user_id":"109246771755522189",
"profile_name":"@anton",
"extra_page":true,
"limit": 10
}
