Research direction
Examine the existing Twitter embed implementation in the repository, likely in an includes file (e.g., twitter.html). Understand how it loads tweets via JavaScript. For Mastodon, research the Mastodon API or available embed widgets (e.g., using mastodon embed timeline). Adapt the existing pattern to fetch and display Mastodon posts. Consider configuration options in config.yml for the Mastodon handle. Test locally with a Jekyll server.
