    I’d like to know if this plugin can let me filter/choose a category or tag to be the origin of posts to be sent to a Diaspora pod.

    It would be an important feature, this could be found as a permanent filter/choice and also as a per-post option (“post this to XXX diaspora* pod”).

    Since version 1.1 it is possible to select if a post will (or not) be send to diaspora* directly from the post editor page (second screenshot).

    Do you mean defining a default option (to post or not to post) for any category or tag?

    Yes, I meant a default option. It’s nice by default it’s enabled to share the post to Diaspora, but if I could configure only posts tagged “diaspora” (or whatever custom tag) to be shared there, it would ignore those that aren’t.

    Why do you want that? Tags, categories and wp-to-diaspora option are all choosed in the same page, at the same moment. Isn’t selecting between ‘yes or no’ easier than adding a specific tag or category?

    Tags and categories are used to organize and filter content. If you use them as a plugin option, it would cause confusion because:
    – wp-to-diaspora option selected above would be overwritten
    – in case of using a tag only for that (like ‘diaspora’, as you suggested), every tag query on your blog would retrieve this tag, which only means the post was shared on diaspora.

    Maybe I am confusing pull vs. push publishing, I realize WP to Diaspora pushes to Diaspora (not the other way around).

    Probably tagging my posts Diaspora if/when they are posted is OK, that way I can find which ones I have posted there. This is different than my original suggestion, though.
