I am working on putting a more comprehensive list online since I have a LOT more info on cross-posting. This is just a quick summary page for the topics most people ask me about.

Capable of crossposting various platforms & Bluesky (Biz Oriented tools)

Planned / In development (should be available for Bluesky soon?):

Hints dropped:

Vote it up:

Video post capable:

WITH alt text for video:

No alt text for video yet:

If you’re an SMM tool developer, please include/add alt text for video posts. Not only is it good form for accessibility but, at least on Bluesky, it can also play a part in discoverability for search and refinement with Regex for feed building.

Post from RSS feeds (website posts that autopost):
Stats & Analytics

The tools above are Bluesky specific account engagement information and not SMM tools. I’m including them because some of them may be more useful specifically for Bluesky.

Keep in mind that there are going to be some limitations (ex: views) because of what’s available as part of the Bluesky API currently.

Also what you can get from each of these is going to be more drastically different than the basics of publishing posts so I’m trying to link to screenshots (keep in mind this is a quickly changing landscape so things may look different on the date that you look vs the date I posted screenshots.)

  • socialchamp.io has likes , shares, comments per post. Sort by top posts. Follower growth. See screenshot.
  • Socialbu.com has some follower growth info and top posts info. As well as proportion info about posts that are test, image, or video. See screenshots.
  • Postpone.app followers, likes, replies, top posts. Reposts & quote posts also exist in the charts but they don’t seem accurate at the moment for this account. Screen shot.

Lists that they have analytics but I haven’t tested yet:

SOON:

Vote it up:

“Quote Post” capable (embeds really):

When a link was posted, does it look like a quote post or just a link?
This is actually an embed since it won’t show as a quote post to the original person posting.

Links to most recent “quote post” tests done:

My SocialBee trial ran out & I have to decide if I want to pay to test more.

Queue and/or ReQueue

Most business SMM tools are capable of scheduled posts. Queues are less about choosing a time and just instead queuing things up. Your options for queuing can vary greatly by tool so while one may do hourly another may do times you’ve selected each day OR try and optimize based on other data.

Able to thread a long post:
CW – Content Warning Capable

This is less used on BlueSky than it is on Mastodon but it is relevant to both, just in different ways. Bluesky will only allow a small number of CW options on images only, not text. Threads does not do self-applied content warnings despite federation.

As of Dec 2024:

Have not done the longer list of option yet but just got it started. I also no longer have trials on several tools and would have to pay to test them again so I’ll probably check cost and group several tests for a single month subscription at some point.

Individual / 1 acct per platform oriented:

NOTE: This page may change or be deleted as needed.
Make a copy if you find something useful here.

!! Rule of thumb: If you don’t understand the platform culture,
I would NOT just simply start posting this way.
