One reason to stay away from commercial Plugins is that you might be f**ed when they raise prices:
Years ago, I chose the Before-After-Slider from Themefic (like here: https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2024/discovering-the-bosensteiner-almpfad/ ).
Back then for 19$ / year.
Now we are at 39$ / year.
Yes, the plugin now can do more – more stuff that I simply do not need. Well … Don’t get me wrong: I’m totally fine to pay for some service – but doubling the price for stuff that I just don’t need.
In general it should be super simple to federate WordPress posts to the fediverse: Just simply install and activate the ActivityPub WordPress plugin and there you go.

changed the file (via edit plugin): wp-share-buttons/Front_end/share_front_end_view.php
case 'share_twitter_button': $link= 'https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2F'.$linkthispage.'&text='.$str;
Now the URL is prepended with http and thus displayed in the twitter share-dialog as well. Mission accomplished.
(And Huge-IT is also informed about the bug + fix)
Have fun and a happy new year
