What you can post to Bluesky
Images with alt text, or a video
Attach images and give each one its own screen-reader description, or attach a video instead. Bluesky takes one or the other in a post.
Link preview cards
Paste a link and the post carries a preview card with the page title and picture, the way Bluesky shows it in the app.
Links, mentions and hashtags that work
Links, @mentions and #hashtags in your text become clickable on Bluesky instead of staying plain text.
Choose who can reply
Everybody, nobody, only people you follow, or only people you mention.
Length counted like Bluesky counts it
Emoji and accented letters are counted the way Bluesky counts them, so a post that fits in the composer is not rejected at publish time.
AI that drafts it for you
Describe the post in one line and the AI drafts the caption. Change the Bluesky version without touching the other networks.

Questions
Do I need to give Social Publish my Bluesky password?
No. You create an app password in Bluesky's settings, a separate password for one tool. Delete it in Bluesky at any time to cut access. Never paste your main password.
Can I schedule Bluesky threads?
Not yet. Each scheduled post is a single Bluesky post. If threads matter most to you, Buffer supports them on Bluesky.
Can I send the same post to other networks?
Yes. Pick Bluesky and any other connected network in the same post, and change the text for any network that needs something different.
Can my team review Bluesky posts before they go out?
Yes. On team plans a post can wait for approval from someone allowed to publish before it is sent.
Is there a free plan?
There is a free trial instead of a free plan. The current plans and the trial length are on the pricing page.
