Thanks for your reply! This looks interesting, but I see a lot of manual work involved in it. Is there any automation tool that you're aware of? Also on Instagram or elsewhere do people create any media or quotes from blog as a post and share that? |

If I were to do this, what I'd want is a tool, probably shell-based, which would generate the syndication content in a suitable format for sharing elsewhere. I follow a format for posting to both Mastodon and Diaspora* that tends to follow Jacob Nielsen's "microcontent" suggestions. Typically:
For a shorter-format platform (e.g., Mastodon, microblog similar to Twitter), the goal is for a shorter posting, typically ~250 -- 500 characters.For a longer-format platform, and Diaspora* is somewhat similar to Facebook in that regard, I might include 2--3 paragraphs rather than just one. But in general, keep it short and punchy.
Reddit would be similar to the last, or I might syndicate the entire post there. (I've largely curtailed Reddit usage however.)
Images often help sell or brand posts. I don't have a good way of producing or selecting those, though you might want to think about it.
My goal isn't huge reach, it's intelligent discussion. Even on platforms that are small and modest by current standards, I tend to find at least some of that.
Once I've written the piece, I'll typically assemble those bits manually, and share them to a couple of sites. It's a few minutes, and done perhaps a few times a week. The overall burden is pretty low.
