Summary

Add support for the fediverse:creator meta tag, introduced by Mastodon in mid-2024 via PR #30398. This enables author attribution when links are shared on Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms.

Why

  • First-mover opportunity — no Joomla or WordPress extension supports this yet
  • Mastodon is growing as a platform; early support differentiates MokoOG
  • Minimal implementation effort (~20 lines of PHP)

Implementation

  • Add a fediverse_creator field to the plugin parameters (global default) and optionally per-article
  • Format: <meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@user@instance.social" />
  • Output in onBeforeCompileHead alongside existing platform-specific tags
