Help & Features

Ferryman automatically cross-posts your content from one social platform to others. Post once, reach your audience everywhere.

1. Sign in with your X (Twitter) account
2. Connect your other social accounts (Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, etc.)
3. Choose your origin platform (where you post) and target platforms (where to sync)
4. Enable cross-posting in Settings
5. Post on your origin platform — Ferryman handles the rest!

Ferryman supports the following platforms:

• X (Twitter) — Sign in with OAuth
• Bluesky — Connect with your app password (not your main password)
• Threads — Connect via Meta OAuth
• Instagram — Connect via Meta OAuth
• Mastodon — Enter your instance URL and authorize
• LinkedIn — Connect via LinkedIn OAuth

You can connect or disconnect platforms at any time from the Settings page.

Origin Platform: The platform where you create your posts. Ferryman monitors this platform for new content.

Target Platforms: The platforms where your posts get automatically shared. You can select multiple targets.

Ferryman syncs your posts automatically every few minutes. You can also trigger a manual sync from the Settings page.

Note: Replies, quote tweets, and edited posts are not cross-posted to prevent duplicate content.

Want to post something on one platform without it being cross-posted? Include #noferry anywhere in your post.

Posts with this tag will be skipped during sync and won't appear on your other platforms.

The tag is case-insensitive: #noferry, #NoFerry, and #NOFERRY all work the same.

Ferryman has two types of posts with different limits:

Direct posts (from Ferryman Create)

Auto-synced posts (from your origin platform)

Daily auto-sync limits reset at midnight UTC. Direct posts created from Ferryman are always unlimited for paid users.

Video cross-posting is available on the Creator plan. Ferryman automatically converts videos for each platform's requirements.

Duration limits by platform:

• Bluesky: 3 minutes max
• Threads: 5 minutes max

Videos longer than the platform limit will be skipped for that platform.

Creator plan feature: Automatically attach a promotional reply to your cross-posted content.

Configure in Settings:

• Promo text: Your custom message (e.g., "Follow me on X for more!")
• Promo link: A URL to include in the reply
• Platforms: Choose which platforms show promo replies

Promo replies only appear on the last post in a thread, not every message.

Paid plan feature: Track engagement across all your connected platforms in one place.

Analytics include:

• Likes, reposts, and replies per post
• Follower reach across platforms
• Trending content identification
• Historical engagement trends (7/30/90 days)
• Cumulative cross-post counter
