STEP 3 of 6

Click Connect

To add a platform, click its connect button, such as Connect Threads. Sign in on that platform and approve access, and you're brought straight back to Feedlio.

Some platforms connect inside Feedlio.

Bluesky, for example, opens a dialog in Feedlio where you enter your account details instead of sending you to a sign-in page.

Know the rules

Platform Rules lists the text limit, supported account types and content types. For Normal Post, Story and Reel Or Short, it shows the max upload, whether media is required, the file formats and the max file size.

Check before you post a Story or Reel.

On Facebook, for example, Stories and Reels need media and take one file each, while a normal post takes up to 10.

Questions people ask

Which platforms can I connect?

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, Mastodon, WordPress, Dev.to, Dribbble, Lemmy, Warpcast, Nostr and Hashnode.

Does every platform send me to a sign-in page?

Most do. A few, like Bluesky, open a dialog inside Feedlio where you enter your account details instead.

What do I do when an account's access expires?

Open the account's ⋮ menu and choose Reauthenticate to approve access again. The Account health card on your dashboard tells you when this is needed.

Where can I see a platform's character and media limits?

Open the ⋮ menu on a connected account and choose Platform Rules. It lists the text limit, account types and upload limits for each content type.
