Add a list of your favorite toots on Mastodon to any page on your website using a block.
Use the Favorite Toots block to quickly add a list of your favorite toots from Mastodon to any page on your website. The toots appear as a fully styled list. You can see how it looks by viewing my favorite toots on my website.

About this Plugin
One of the primary ways I find new accounts to follow is by eavesdropping on other people’s favorites. Many platforms make favorites public but Mastodon doesn’t (yet?). I wanted to show my favorite toots publicly so that people can look through them. I’m hoping you’ll make your favorite toots public this way too.

Why does this plugin exist?
By default Mastodon does not expose an account’s favorite toots. By using this plugin, you’re able to share your favorite toots on your website.
How do I determine my Mastodon instance URL?
Your Mastodon instance URL is usually the domain name that appears in your username. For example, my Mastodon username is @cdevroe@mastodon.social so my instance URL is mastodon.social.
Where do I get an Mastodon API key?
- Log into your Mastodon instance.
- Click Preferences > Development
- Choose “New application”
- Application name: Favorite Toots WordPress (or, anything you’d like)
- Application Website: Your website URL
- Redirect URI: (leave as-is)
- Scopes: read:bookmarks read:favourites read:statuses
