Threads
Chain several posts together on X, Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads.
A thread is a run of posts published one after another as replies to the first. Orbitwrite publishes threads natively on the networks that have them:
| Network | Threads |
|---|---|
| X | Yes |
| Bluesky | Yes |
| Mastodon | Yes |
| Threads | Yes |
| Every other network | The posts are joined into one, separated by blank lines |
Write a thread
Choose Add post in the toolbar under a post to add the next one. Each post has its own character counter, its own media, and on X its own poll.
There's no limit on the number of posts in a thread.
Turn a long post into a thread
Write the whole thing as one post. When it runs past the network's limit, a Create thread button appears beside the counter: it asks Orb to break the text into posts that fit, at natural break points. Edit the result as much as you like before scheduling. See AI assistant.
Links in threads
On X, a link in the first post of a thread reduces how many people see it. When the first post carries a link, the composer offers Move link to reply, which moves it into a reply under the post. See Links.
