... media scheduler, and until then our own accounts were run the way everyone's are: five composer tabs, the same caption pasted five times, LinkedIn posted "when I remembered". Since mid-April every weekday post on our LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, and Threads has gone out through the product itself, and I haven't opened a composer since. Two things surprised me. First, dogfooding turned out to be our best QA. When a platform changes its API, our own morning post ...

... long time, I thought getting customers was mostly about finding the right companies, identifying the right person, and reaching out to them. But the more conversations I look at across places like Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Product hunt, Bluesky and different communities, the more I m starting to question that approach. People constantly talk about problems they re having. They ask for alternatives

... years by people who cared about how it feels to use. Dark, considered interfaces. Whitespace that isn't accidental. Content that is the product, not decoration bolted onto a spreadsheet. The short answer to "what's the best LinkedIn alternative in 2026" is this: builders aren't looking for another feed. They're looking for a professional network that was actually designed, not just maintained. That's the gap forg.to is built to close. Here's why the gap exists ... ... product one loud day and then let it disappear. Forg treats launch day as chapter one, not the whole book. Write once, reach three platforms. Post an update on forg and cross-post it to X, LinkedIn, and Bluesky

... Reddit is part of your growth strategy, this one's for you. You can now publish to Reddit from the same place you use for X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Instagram, & YouTube. No extra steps. Try now at dunsocial.com Comment from Adrian Cole(@adrian_cole4): what was the biggest challenge while building this feature? Comment from Yara Simone(@yara_simone): @ritheesh_bs Do you think Reddit needs a different content strategy than LinkedIn or X? Comment from Natasha Reddy ...

... total), but for my international presence, almost everything went into creating content (up to 500 600). The biggest investment has always been time . Product Hunt: 45 60 minutes every day (365 days 4 years) LinkedIn Bluesky Substack X (Twitter) YouTube Why am I asking? Because very few people actually account for the time invested in building a personal brand, and even fewer assign a monetary value to it. Then, when a sponsor wants a promotion, they often expect creators ...

... Introducing DunSocial CLI. Why should posting the same update everywhere take eight logins? Now I run one command from my terminal & it goes out across X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Reddit, Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube. Built for people who live in the terminal. dunsocial Comment from Ghost Kitty(@ghost-kitty-10081637): Comment Deleted Comment from Raffay Sajjad(@raffay_sajjad): One command hitting eight different platforms at once is convenient until one of them fails midway. If Reddit rate limits ... ... Bluesky

... long time, social media felt like one big town square. Now it feels more like a collection of neighborhoods . People are choosing communities that match how they want to interact. Some have moved to Bluesky. Others stayed on X. Some spend most of their time on LinkedIn, Threads, Mastodon, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. At the same time, AI generated content, bots, and engagement farming have made it harder to tell what's genuine. Follower counts and impressions still matter ... ... interacting, but viewing remains a challenge as not many platforms allow you to fetch timelines (because they want to serve you ads on their platform). There are apps like Openvibe that allow viewing but they are limited to Bluesky

... People are choosing the platforms and communities where they feel most connected. Some are on X, others on Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads, Mastodon, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and whatever comes next. But something important gets lost when we only look at social through dashboards and numbers: the people behind the engagement. The same person liking your posts, replying to your ideas, or sharing your work is not just another metric. They're part of your community. We're building around the human ...

... source reliability, and failure states. For customers, predictable degradation is much better than a black-box API that silently breaks. Comment from Narek Keshishyan(@narek_keshishyan): Running distribution for a consumer app across three platforms taught me the spread. Bluesky's AT Protocol does everything through the public API, likes, reposts, search, notifications, it just works. Threads technically posts and replies but every useful read sits behind another OAuth scope you have to re-consent your way into. Instagram ...

... reads lazy and a few platforms quietly throttle near-duplicate cross-posts. Rewriting each by hand respects the platform but eats real time, and honestly most days I don't have a fresh angle for X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads and Telegram all at once. So I'd default to copy-paste and feel a little cheap about it. What's worked for me is a middle path: write the post once as a base, let it fill every platform, then ... ... override only the ones that need it. Shorten for X's limit, use the longer room Bluesky

... show you what we built. Publora is social media scheduling and publishing, built API-first for people who'd rather automate than click through one more dashboard. One REST API, ten platforms.

... browser dashboard is exactly where the habit breaks. So I shipped an MCP server for XreplyAI. One config block in .mcp.json and Claude Code gets tools to draft, schedule, and publish posts across X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky, and TikTok without leaving the session. The workflow that clicked for me: finish a PR, ask Claude to "draft a building-in-public post about what I just shipped in my voice," review it, schedule it. The voice piece matters ...

... with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView, bootstrapped with zero investors, and run as a public benefit company so the incentive is always the product, never your data. I also built MOSSLET , a privacy-first social network with E2EE messaging and Bluesky interop, using the same encryption architecture that inspired Metamorphic.

... Great Scott ! Bluesky raised $100M Series B from Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from Alumni Ventures, Anthos Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Knight Foundation and True Ventures. Why they waited a year to tell anyone about it is anyone's guess. Comment from Chris Messina(@chrismessina): @busmark_w_nika  maybe, but Mike Masnick (Bluesky

... curious to see what might happen with Digg next, if this is going to be @kevinrose 's new full time focus, just as fellow True Ventures colleague Toni Schneider is taking over as interim CEO at Bluesky . Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @thatadamguy  I trained my algo the way that I have those things I really enjoy. It has nothing to do with those "congrats" things.

... just letting it rip . I m very curious whether others have struggled with free trial versus freemium and whether doing both is a bad idea (I m leaning towards that being a yes by the way). I also wonder if we are giving away too much for free and should be feature gating more. The challenge then shifts from a pricing perspective vs

... News in the tech world gets old quickly. It's no longer relevant in 10 minutes. What helps you quickly navigate the world of AI? I caught the latest news about AI from: trend topics in the Bluesky or X feed . (Eg.

... software developer with a bit of knack for UX, not a marketing guy. Plus it's a hobby project that I tinker with after my day job. I'm bad at social media: I have a BlueSky account for the project but except for one post it's tumbleweed and crickets :D I did create a few YouTube videos and the seem to bring in some people but only those who know what to look for.

You can fetch users from relevant threads, save them as leads, and DM them. The same applies to Bluesky and YouTube, where you can reply to keyword - based mentions as well. You can give the AI your website and it will automatically fetch information about your company. You can also define exact reply rules and even provide examples ...

... about which platforms serve different purposes. LinkedIn for professional network, Twitter/X for real-time conversation, newsletter for owned audience, etc. Makes it less about redundancy and more about strategic presence. The decentralized network thing is interesting in theory (Mastodon, Bluesky, etc.) but honestly the audience just isn't there yet for most use cases. Worth experimenting with, but I wouldn't rely on it as your safety net. Curious - did LinkedIn ever tell you specifically what triggered the false positive ...
