**expandurl-mastodon** is a Mastodon bot that expands shortened URLs.
|
|
|
|
If you want the bot to expand an URL, reply to the post with the URL in it and
|
|
mention the bot account (`@expandurl@botsin.space` for example).
|
|
|
|
This bot uses the same visibility as you, but posts unlisted instead of public.
|
|
It retains the sensitive flag and spoiler warnings.
|
|
|
|

|
