## Media post to Mastodon for iOS via Imgur upload.

The upcoming [Mastodon for iOS app](https://joinmastodon.org/apps) currently has a single Siri Shortcut action - "Post [Text] on Mastodon" - which only allows one to pass plain text to the app (and then to the service.) When a friend of mine [replied](https://mstdn.cloud.themaymeow.com/@emma/106654320972606699) to my links to [my Share Sheet-destined Mastodon for iOS Siri Shortcut](https://github.com/extratone/i/issues/85) requesting for clarification, I just sortof... whipped this one up without any revision or hesitation, and then felt compelled to publish it when it immediately functioned correctly on [its very first run](https://mastodon.social/@DavidBlue/106655155851383761). (100% certain that success made it a first to do so among my various projects in Siri Shortcuts.)

## Steps

1. Prompts to select from Photos app (single file mode.)

2. Prompts text input for the (optional) `Title` of the Imgur post.

3. Prompts text input for the (optional) `Description` of the Imgur post - by default, I have also added #iOS and #social-media, but obviously, please personalize these for your own use.

4. Uploads the media to Imgur *anonymously* (by Default) and retrieves the Direct URL to the corresponding post.

5. Prompts text input in front of said retrieved URL for the actual content of the Toot.

6. Posts <your text> <imgur  url> [to Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@DavidBlue/106655409169365663)!
