FAQ

Common Questions

Can you schedule posts in the Bluesky app?

Bluesky's blog and developer docs, checked on October 27, 2026, describe no option to schedule a post in the Bluesky app. In Postopus you pick a date and time, and Postopus publishes the post then. You do not need to keep Postopus open.

How long can a Bluesky post be?

300 characters. Bluesky's developer docs define them more precisely as 300 Unicode grapheme clusters (checked on October 27, 2026), and the Postopus counter counts graphemes too, so an emoji counts as 1.

Can I add images and alt text?

Yes. Add up to 4 still images to a post (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 1 MB each), each with its own alt text. Bluesky's developer docs set the same maximum of four images per post (checked on October 27, 2026).

How do I connect my Bluesky account?

Type your handle, such as yourname.bsky.social, and choose Continue to Bluesky. You sign in on Bluesky and approve Postopus there, so Postopus never sees your password. You can connect more than one Bluesky account to a workspace.

Can I delete a post after it is published?

Yes. Delete it in Postopus and keep Also delete from Bluesky ticked, and Postopus deletes it on Bluesky too.

Can I post the same thing to LinkedIn, X or Mastodon?

Yes. Pick your Bluesky account and any LinkedIn, X or Mastodon accounts, keep one text or write a version for each, and schedule them in one go.

Where do I see my scheduled posts?

In Postopus, on the calendar (month or week view) and in the Scheduled tab of your posts. Drag a post on the calendar to move it to another day.
