Bluesky, the social network that used to be Twitter, has recently skyrocketed in popularity, with over 1 million new accounts generated daily.
However, switching to a new social-media service raises a now-familiar issue: how can you keep up with many social networks without being overwhelmed? Copying and pasting information for each service takes up much more time, especially if you need to share as widely as possible for business.
If you need to communicate the same material across numerous channels, a few tools can help.

Openvibe is an iOS and Android software that supports cross-posting to Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, and Nostr. After you’ve signed in to your accounts on each service, create a single post in Openvibe and send it to all of them at once or only the ones you choose.

Openvibe also organizes your feeds into a single timeline, with badges next to each message showing where it was published. That might be monotonous at times when individuals share the same stuff on many services, but that’s why you came to Openvibe in the first place, right?
