Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting?

I know that there should be tools to make it easier to publish content to Twitter/Bluesky/Mastodon, without doing the work thrice. Do you know a good one? Can you share your experience with using them? Thanks! I hope the new platforms are not gonna get ditched immediately...

Edit: Wow I didn't expect that the solutions were often expensive and complex tools (with way too much "AI").

What #CMS does your company have? What are you currently using for #Sociallistening / #socialmediamanagement ? Do you manage your own website? - Some background on these would help a heap.

Could simply creating a basic #ActivityPub server using #Wordpress or something else on your domain and then using a #crossposting to echo your #Twitter posts work as a starting point?

Well if you are using Buffer then keep using it - that's a start - (you can add a Mastodon channel) - Later social (is that later.com?) - Whats the website ? we can easily check. Honestly until (and yes I know I bang on) brands really learn the value of Owned media (which if you are using your own domain - then ActivityPub stuff is really something you own) - then they won't understand the value of Activitypub. - I cringe everytime I see a brand/organisation Fediverse account not using its own domain. If you want them to not screw up - then I recommend a combination of their own server on their own domain and actually making an effort to engage on the topic area (without being spammy)

Ok you have really tipped my interest - Where are you located and are you a #nonprofit or a #charity ? - Feel free to DM me details if you don't want to post publically. I think your situation is really very typical - I'm interested in learning about your tech stack and how you approach things - This is a project I've discussed with a few partners already.

What are they using for Posting now? The best option is to keep using what ever they use (if it supports ActivityPub). Beyond that I've wondered whether the next best approach is to start with a tool that replicates your posts On your own domain - The point being they you want to be authorative and not end up getting tied into any particular server.

Oh definintely - There is no way that any organisation is going to abandon everything for just ActivityPub right now. Thats what makes sociamedia management tools so critical to the wider adoption of ActivityPub. There are two main channels for content - Those tools and CMSs - More of both that support ActivityPub are required.

I understand that #Postiz and #buffer buffer.com/social-media-terms/… say they support it. I still find it weird that #Hootsuite doesn't appear to (I'm not a current user) and neither does #SproutSocial - What I find weird is that #marketers know the value of #ownedmedia and the challenges of #disintermediation that the big social networks cause for them - but there doesn't really appear to be a good guide to managing #brands on #Activitypub - Ditto for #Government agencies

i sort of find the process of adding #hashtags part of my normal composition - as I mention a subject, place or thing etc. What if you could have the option.of viewing posts with the hashtags not displayed within the body but collected and displayed at the bottom? - #Friendica does the second part already in its webapp - perhaps this could.be an option for other UIs such as the native #Lemmy UI, the various flavours of #Racoon or the very good #Fedilab app.
