Restrict by post kinds about share-on-pixelfed HOT 2 OPEN

So, what I do is, I use post types rather than post kinds (or post formats), but the idea is very similar.

Of note: I also have sharing set to "opt-in," so I have to explicitly indicate for each post if I want to share to either Mastodon or Pixelfed or both. Or I could do nothing and check neither.

I'm not sure it's possible to, say, completely hide the "share" checkboxes for certain kinds/formats, as those are taxonomies that you'd normally set while creating a post, whereas a post type is something you decide on up front, if that makes sense. (In a way, all post kinds/formats are all ... just posts.)

But what we can do, and I'm relatively sure is already possible through a little bit of custom code, is either stop certain kinds/formats from being shared or force them to be shared.

I'll look into it.

Also, sharing to Pixelfed will simply be skipped (regardless of the checkbox value) for non-image posts. So, even if you had sharing to both Mastodon and Pixelfed enabled, text-only posts would only ever get shared to Mastodon.

But again, one could definitely halt "photo posts" from being shared on Mastodon. Or non-photo posts that happen to have a (featured) image from being shared on Pixelfed. Even if the checkboxes were (possibly automatically) enabled, or "sharing always" was enabled. But it'd require a tiny bit of extra code. I'll have a look and report back here.
