I've moved from Twitter because I would have to pay at least $100 per month to use the Twitter API, and I have to upgrade my accounts at Zapier and IFTTT for them to use Twitter too. That's a lot of money to display a single update from a site that literally tweets just once per week. I've moved over to Mastodon. Most tools still don't play nicely with Mastodon, but Mastodon automatically creates an RSS feed to your Mastodon updates (formerally known as toots). For example, if your Mastodon feed is: Your RSS feed is: Now I can use Zapier and IFTTT as part of my tool kit. Originally, I saw the RSS block, and I thought it would work similarly to the Twitter block. This isn't the case. I did find a few third party tools that will allow me to embed RSS feeds into my website, but most of these tools ended up charging (although they didn't state that when I originally signed up for them). I did find a free tool called Emfed, and I am using that. However, it'd be nice for SquareSpace to have another tool that could replace their now useless Twitter block. With all of the ease and configuration capabilities of the old Twitter block.

I use to use WordPress that heavily relies upon third party plugins. Plugins are a big issue with WordPress security because you have hundreds of authors who have various degrees of skill and trustworthiness. Plus, you then have the platform provider and hope they too know what they’re doing security-wise. I’m glad that your plug-in exists. Otherwise, I’d have no way of displaying my last Mastodon post which is our status. I have a few things I’d like to configure, but I’m happy with it. However, I moved from WordPress to SquareSpace because one company, SquareSpace, is responsible for the entire platform, the functioning of the webpage, and its security. if there is any issues, the Finger ‘o Blame has but one company to point to. I’m not a security expert, so I can’t say whether there is a security issue with your plug-in. It’s probably fine. But now, if there’s a problem with my webpage or security issues, there is now a second company involved. That makes me nervous. I’m a volunteer who is running a whole bunch of webpages for various organizations. To me, it is worth the cost of using SquareSpace. With Twitter crashing and burning, it’s time for SquareSpace to create a replacement for the Twitter plug-in. * I would like a Mastodon Plug-in that would allow me a bit of configuration. The Twitter plug-in allows me to say how many updates I want to display. I could use that. * An alternative is to use a plug-in that allows me to display an outside RSS feed. That’s more flexible because so many tools create an RSS feed. Again, I want to control how many items I’d like to display like I could for Twitter.

I was displaying my Twitter feed on my SquareSpace page in order to show our current status. However, now the Twitter block no longer works, I would like an alternative. I'm testing out Mastodon, but unfortunately, there is currently no Mastodon block. Mastodon also turns your Mastodon posts into an RSS feed, but SquareSpace has no easy way to display an RSS feed from outside of your webpage. Right now, I'm using a third party plugin from Elfsight which makes me uncomfortable. That introduces a lot of security issues. Any ideas how to replace the Twitter block?

I am with the Highland Park/New Brunswick Eruv, and we were blindsided by Twitter's announcement last week regarding their API. We used Twitter to: Post that last Tweet onto ourFacebook Group feed. Email that last tweet to everyone on our Email list Have a phone line that basically read out the last tweet to you. And for here, to post that last tweet on our SquareSpace page. (It's under Eruv Status). Now, I've got to rebuild all of this automation. Is it possible to display my last Facebook post on my SquareSpace webpage? Is it possible to display the last item of an RSS feed on my webpage. The Facebook and RSS blocks on SquareSpace aren't able to pull information — just push it. Except for Instagram, there doesn't seem to be any other built in blocks that can pull information from a blogging site like Twitter. I did find a third party plugin from CommonNinja that will allow me to post a Mastodon Feed onto my SquareSpace page. That might help. However, how much can I trust these third party plugins? It was these third party plugins that made me leave WordPress due to security issues. Are these third party plugins good to use on SquareSpace?
