## Supported Features

Everything Postpone supports when scheduling to Bluesky:

- **Single posts and threads** — Schedule one post, or an unlimited-length thread that publishes in order at the scheduled time.
- **Thread numbering** — Automatically append numbering (1/5, 2/5, and so on) to every post in a thread.
- **Reordering** — Move posts up or down to change their position in a thread before you schedule it.
- **Final post** — Automatically append a standing call-to-action post to the end of every thread, set once in [Default Post Settings](https://help.postpone.app/scheduling/publishing/default-post-settings).
- **Media** — Attach up to 4 images, or a single video, to each post in the thread.
- **Quote posts** — Paste the URL of a Bluesky post into your text and Postpone publishes your post as a quote of it, removing the URL from the text.
- **Link cards** — Postpone builds a preview card for the first link in your post automatically.
- **Link image attachment** — Pull the preview image from a link in your post and attach it as media with one click.
- **Alt text** — Add a description to each image or video so screen readers can describe it.
- **Content warnings** — Label a post as suggestive, nudity, or porn so Bluesky hides its media behind a warning.
- **Languages** — Tag the post with the languages it's written in so it reaches the right language feeds.
- **Extra hashtags** — Attach hashtags to the post as metadata, in addition to any you write into the text.
- **Reply controls** — Choose who can reply: everybody, nobody, only accounts you mention, or only accounts you follow.
- **Auto-repost** — Automatically repost your post after a delay. See [Auto-Repost](https://help.postpone.app/scheduling/tools/auto-repost).
- **Auto-remove** — Automatically delete your post after a delay, optionally only when it hasn't reached a minimum number of likes. See [Auto-Removal](https://help.postpone.app/scheduling/tools/auto-removal).
- **@mentions** — Tag other Bluesky accounts by typing `@` in your post text.
- **AI Post Writer and Thread Writer** — Generate or rewrite a single post or a whole thread. See [Writing Individual Posts](https://help.postpone.app/ai/writing-posts/writing-individual-posts) and [Writing Multi-Post Threads](https://help.postpone.app/ai/writing-posts/writing-multi-post-threads).

<note>

Bluesky requires a verified email address before an account can publish video. If yours isn't verified, Postpone shows a warning in the composer and the video post will fail.
