More than a million new accounts are being made every day on the social network Bluesky, which has been growing rapidly lately as people are abandoning X, the former Twitter.

A well-known issue that arises when switching to a new social networking platform is how to manage several accounts without becoming overburdened. Copying and pasting text for each service takes up much more of your time, particularly if you have to post as widely as possible, such for business.
A few tools can make the posting procedure easier if you need to distribute the same material to several different channels.

Cross-posting to Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, and Nostr is possible via the iOS and Android software Openvibe. Create a single post in Openvibe after logging into your accounts on each service, then send it to all of them at once or just the ones you specify.

Additionally, Openvibe compiles all of your feeds into a single timeline, with badges identifying the publication location of each message. When users submit the same information on many services, it can seem monotonous at times, but that’s part of the reason you initially visited Openvibe, isn’t it?

Share your delicious ideas with Croissant.
Croissant is an iOS app that connects to Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon if you’re looking for a tool that simply posts to several services without requiring you to read feeds. Threaded posts, Mastodon content warnings, and service-specific settings that limit which followers can view a post are all supported.

In addition to allowing you to write and save drafts of messages that require time to develop before being sent into the public, Croissant keeps track of all the postings you’ve made using the app.
The app can be purchased as a subscription for $3 per month or $20 per year, or as a lifetime license for $60.
