Cross-posting FAQs and Troubleshooting:

What are the supported Mastodon instances?

Currently, our Mastodon integration requires you to authenticate through Mastodon.social. If you don’t have an account there, the current flow won’t let you connect. We’re exploring support for logging in with other Mastodon instances in the meantime.

Why did my Mastodon post not get cross-posted to my other socials?

Nuelink automatically cross-posts content that is made and published outside of the Nuelink app, meaning if you share a post manually using your Mastodon app, it will be cross-posted directly. Another thing that you should pay attention to is whether the type of post you are trying to cross-post is compatible with the other platforms selected. Check here the type of posts supported on each platform.

What type of content can I cross-post from the Mastodon App?

You can share your text posts, images, videos, and multi-image posts; just make sure the platform you selected supports that type of content. For example, you can’t share a text post to Instagram or Pinterest since it does not support that type of content. Learn more about the ideal post types for each platform here.

Will Nuelink publish posts on my Mastodon account without my permission?

No, Nuelink will not publish anything on your Mastodon account without your explicit permission. You have full control over what gets published and when.

How can I disconnect my Mastodon account from Nuelink?

To disconnect your Mastodon account, navigate to ‘Social Channels’ in the Nuelink menu, find your connected Mastodon account, and select the option to delete. Follow the prompts to complete the disconnection.

Can I schedule and publish posts on Mastodon directly from Nuelink?
