From the official readme · v0.9.0Description
Automatically share WordPress posts on Pixelfed.
You choose which Post Types are shared—though sharing can still be disabled on a per-post basis. Posts without a Featured Image will not be shared. (The plugin currently doesn’t look for other images inside the post, that is.)
Supports a number of filter hooks for developers, and is fully compatible with WordPress’s new block editor.
More details can be found on this plugin’s web page.
