Accounts & groups

Last updated: 30/09/2024

Threaditor 8 introduced a new paradigm for writing and publishing by allowing you to write for accounts and groups. This replaces the "write for platforms" feature, which was much more limited.

Getting started

When you create a new thread, you will start writing for your default platform, which is an account or group you can select in your account settings. You can then start writing for other accounts by using the "Add a platform" in the bottom-right.

• Any content, media or settings for one platform will not affect the content of others.

• You can copy content from another platform when adding a new account or group. This will copy written content, media and settings.

Writing for account groups

Threaditor Plus owners who have account groups set up can additionally write for all the accounts in that group at the same time. This is a powerful way to write, because it allows you to seamlessly publish content across the social web, and means you can spend less time editing the content of each platform.

When writing for account groups, the most strict rules from each account will apply to your writing. For example, if you were writing for a Threads account and a Bluesky account, the 300 character limit from Bluesky would apply, as it is the most strict of the two platforms. Similar rules will apply for the number and type of media you can attach to posts.

Account groups also have a custom platform settings menu, which will show settings for all the accounts in that group. The color of the settings reflects which platforms it applies to (except for white, which denotes either Threads or a property that applies to multiple platforms). Settings will be applied to every account in that group.

What if I write for an account group, and then separately for an account within that group?

The content of an account group will not affect anything you are writing for the individual accounts, and vice versa. This means that you can write for the same account multiple times simultaneously, which can be handy for timing and coordinating posts.
