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, Substack, Twitch, 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
• Facebook — Connect via Meta OAuth
• Substack — Connect with your substack.sid session cookie for Notes posting
• Twitch — Connect via Twitch OAuth to use featured Clips as a video source

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.

Twitch: Twitch can be selected as a video origin for featured Clips, but not as a target platform.

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

Posting from Ferryman Create: When you compose a post on the Create page, it publishes only to the platforms you select there. It won't be picked up again and re-crossposted by your sync flows, even if you post to your origin platform.

Note: Some posts are handled specially to avoid duplicates. Replies are cross-posted only when they reply to your own post (self-threads); replies to other people are skipped. Quote posts are cross-posted only when you're quoting your own content that Ferryman has already cross-posted. Edited posts are cross-posted unless an earlier version was already cross-posted.

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)

Auto-sync usage is measured over a rolling 24-hour window. Direct posts created from Ferryman are always unlimited for paid users.

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

Twitch can be used as an automatic source. Only Clips marked Featured and created after you enable the flow are eligible; Ferryman can send them to X and other supported video destinations.

Duration limits by platform:

• Bluesky: 3 minutes max
• Threads: 5 minutes max
• Substack Notes: uploaded to Substack's video pipeline

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

Creator-or-higher 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. Substack Notes do not support promo replies.

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

* Max unlimited usage is subject to fair use.
