Why cross-post from Facebook to Discord

Facebook and Discord reach genuinely different audiences. Facebook is the broadest reach of any social platform — Pages put your content in front of a general, multi-generational audience. Discord, by contrast, is private and public server communities where creators can share updates directly with their most engaged members.

A Discord channel turns each published update into a community touchpoint without requiring followers to catch an algorithmic feed. If you're already putting in the effort to write good posts on Facebook, there's no reason that work shouldn't reach a Discord audience too — except that maintaining two presences manually is exhausting and easy to abandon. That's the problem Ferryman exists to solve.

Key differences between Facebook and Discord

Cross-posting isn't just a copy-paste. The two platforms have different limits and conventions, and Ferryman handles each difference so you don't have to think about it.

Capability	Facebook	Discord
Character limit	63,206	2,000
Images per post	10	10
Alt text on images	No	Yes
Video support	Up to 15:00	Yes
Native threading	No	No

Facebook allows up to 63,206 characters, but Discord's 2,000-character limit is generous enough that most Facebook content fits as a single Discord post.

What gets synced

Original posts (replies and quote posts are off by default and can be enabled)
Images up to 10 per post, with alt text added where supported
Videos up to platform-second length on Discord (Creator plan)
Links — Ferryman preserves URLs and link cards where Discord supports them
Hashtags and mentions are preserved as-is; platform-specific mention syntax is rewritten
Most posts fit as a single Discord post

Set up Facebook → Discord cross-posting

Sign in to Ferryman with your X account. This is how Ferryman authenticates you — you can still set Facebook as your origin platform afterwards.
Go to Settings and connect your Facebook account. This is the platform you'll post on natively.
Connect your Discord account in Settings. See the Discord integration guide for the exact steps.
Set Facebook as your origin platform and check Discord as a target. Toggle cross-posting on, and Ferryman will sync new Facebook posts to Discord within a few minutes.

Edge cases worth knowing

Skip a specific post: include #noferry anywhere in your Facebook post and Ferryman won't sync it to Discord.
Replies and quote posts: off by default. You can enable them in Settings if you want your Facebook conversations to appear on Discord too.
Threads on Facebook: Discord doesn't have native threading, so Ferryman joins thread parts into a single longer post where it fits.
Editing or deleting: Ferryman doesn't propagate edits or deletions automatically. Each platform keeps its own copy once posted.
Scheduling: Use Ferryman's planner to schedule a post and Ferryman publishes to Facebook and Discord at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take for a Facebook post to appear on Discord?

Ferryman checks for new Facebook posts every few minutes and syncs them to Discord as they arrive. Most cross-posts go live on Discord within five minutes of the original Facebook post.

What happens if my Facebook post is too long for Discord?

Facebook allows up to 63,206 characters, but Discord's 2,000-character limit is generous enough that most Facebook content fits as a single Discord post.

Are images and videos preserved when cross-posting from Facebook to Discord?

Yes. Images attached to your Facebook post are uploaded to Discord automatically, up to Discord's limit of 10 per post. Videos are preserved when both platforms support them (Creator plan).

Can I cross-post one Facebook post but skip another?

Yes. Include #noferry anywhere in a Facebook post and Ferryman will skip syncing it to Discord (and any other connected platforms).

Does Ferryman cross-post my Facebook replies and quote posts?

By default, only original posts are cross-posted. You can opt in to syncing replies, quote posts, or reposts from your Ferryman settings.

Is cross-posting from Facebook to Discord free?

Every account starts with a 7-day free trial, so you can try cross-posting between Facebook and Discord before you're billed. Cancel anytime before the trial ends and you won't be charged.
