For journalists and reporters
Share your stories where readers moved to
SocialMate schedules links to your stories on Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn and X, and posts real threads that reply part by part. Share a piece when it goes live, then again for readers in other time zones, from one place. The free plan covers 250 posts a month.
What you can do
Bluesky and Mastodon together
Post the same story to Bluesky and any Mastodon instance at once, and to LinkedIn.
Real threads
Post a thread of key findings right away, each part replying to the one before, on Bluesky, Mastodon or X.
Timed for readers
Schedule the second share for the morning in another time zone, so it does not land at 3am.
Mentions in one inbox
See Bluesky and Mastodon mentions in one place and reply without switching apps.
