With all the buzz around leaving X, tons of people are hunting for the best X alternative.
Bluesky is riding that wave, pulling in a massive number of new users over the last few months.
But every time a new platform pops up, the same question comes up: How are we supposed to keep up with all these platforms? It's too much manual work!
One answer? Crossposting. And since we're already talking about Bluesky, let’s focus on Bluesky crossposting.
What do we mean by Bluesky Crossposting
Bluesky crossposting means automatically sharing the same (or almost the same) content from Bluesky to other platforms like X and Mastodon. It eliminates manual copying and pasting, making the process seamless. While Bluesky doesn’t have a built-in crossposting feature, you can use social media management tools like Nuelink for more flexibility and automation.

📸 Image Posts – Crosspost Bluesky posts that include images.
📹 Videos – Automatically share Bluesky video posts across platforms.
Step 7: [Optional] Control Crossposting with Hashtags
With this option enabled, Nuelink will only crosspost content if a specific hashtag is included in the caption. This gives you control over what gets shared across platforms.

Only posts with #ShareEverywhere in the caption will be crossposted to platforms like Twitter (X) and LinkedIn. Posts without the hashtag will remain exclusive to Bluesky.
