Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting?
I know that there should be tools to make it easier to publish content to Twitter/Bluesky/Mastodon, without doing the work thrice. Do you know a good one? Can you share your experience with using them? Thanks! I hope the new platforms are not gonna get ditched immediately...
Edit: Wow I didn't expect that the solutions were often expensive and complex tools (with way too much "AI").

Another crop of this lucky photo that I was unaware I had taken.
I composed this symmetrical scene at St Paul's London Underground station, & then suddenly loads of people rushed to catch the train. It was only when I was editing at home that I noticed I had captured a hat man!

When Street Art Meets Nature (40 Photos)
When street art meets nature, the results are stunning. Some artists blend their murals seamlessly with the landscape, while others use real plants to bring their work to life.
In Ecuador, El Decertor painted a mural that merges with the natural surroundings. In Martinique, Nuxuno Xän turned a tree trunk into part of a painted figure. In New York, OGMillie created a floral mural that brightens the urban space. In Brazil, Fábio Gomes Trindade’s portraits use real bougainvillea as hair, while in Poland, Natalia Rak painted a girl appearing to water a living tree.
These works show how street art and nature can come together in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Vinie’s Stunning Murals: 24 Colorful Masterpieces You Need to See
Vinie grew up in Toulouse and loved drawing and painting from a young age. In high school, she started doing street art when she joined the “AH Crew” in 2001.
Back then, she mostly worked on graffiti lettering. Over time, she joined art events and worked on themed murals, which inspired her to create colorful characters and detailed scenes.In 2007, Vinie moved to Paris for a job as an Artistic Director. This move helped her focus on her own style of art. She began painting her now-famous female character on Paris walls. These characters are easy to spot with their big, bold hairstyles made of graffiti tags and designs. Vinie also likes to use things around her, like plants, to make her art blend into its surroundings.
With help from her art partner Anti, she started making sculptures in 2016 and again in 2019. Today, Vinie’s art is known all over the world. She takes part in urban art festivals and shares her creations across different countries. Her work mixes her love for painting and traveling, bringing bright and creative designs to city streets everywhere.

Could simply creating a basic #ActivityPub server using #Wordpress or something else on your domain and then using a #crossposting to echo your #Twitter posts work as a starting point?

I chose the username after a professor made an analogy between (programming) tools and lego bricks. He introduced a tool a "This lego brick will turn out to be so good that it is litterally on fire". I found it really funny, and now it's my username :)
