uggghhh so you guys are copying us now? j/k it's a great enhancement. Ideally this is supported on all platforms so we don't have to do this from our side

China is also impressive, especially given their volume It's shocking how low our numbers are here #DigiBlogChat

This is a good question! The first incarnation of Fedica was Tweepsmap (which I built as a free tool at the time) Interactivity was key but so is a clean interface, buttons to the side would open new views: charts etc. Google Maps is a great example of how this can be done neatly #digiblogchat

It is better than the alternative idea, transporting oil in trucks (or trains) is dumb People need to take responsibility for their own actions and stop burning oil. All we got from him is empty slogans, he was a terrible environment minister. Under him Canada was worst in G7

Actually he exceeded my expectations, in 1 year he accomplished more than previous 2 governments Our last 2 decade were filled with words and no action. The last government told you they cared about the environment and did the opposite The previous one was transparent that they didn't care!

I got my information from MY OWN PANELS, here is a graph! And that article you shared is complete garbage, if they want to be useful they should share a chart, what kind of uni publishes this?!? And of course they "work in winter", but running at 10% capacity is not useful, let alone at large scale

Somehow science doesn't agree with you An average of 2.9 hours per day of sun in December, with total < 90 hours per month! weather-and-climate.com/average-mont...

You clearly have no clue what you are talking about I triple dare you to share graphs from your solar panels Here is mine! Hint: THEY DON'T WORK IN WINTER

Hey Jade, There is a free plan!
Fedica's free plan

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 21/04/2026
Hey Alex, It's much simpler to just use a tool, you can add the text, images and alt and set the date all at once You can do this all in the free plan (as long as you don't need more than 10 scheduled posts at a given time)
Fedica's composer lets you schedule posts across 13 platforms
010
🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 09/04/2026
Simple! You can have up to 10 platforms in the free plan (1 account per platform) Or 13 platforms with a paid plan (you set how many accounts per platform you want when subscribing, you will need this for multiple bsky account) You can switch (top right) or have them all in one box but turn on/off

I don't know if this was your intent but it reminded me of this

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 28/01/2026
Thanks for the mention JC And it's not tedious to make threads, all you have to do is click a button and we create threads for all the platforms!

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 09/01/2026
Another option is to filter your followers and find the right ones and DM them :)

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 25/11/2025
Not really a lot of work, most of the work is writing the post:) then you click one button and it takes care of the rest Or you could click another button and you can set the date and time. That's it! Oh, and you can do this on multiple platforms at once (if you have any) so just 1 extra click each

Interesting how you made the old version in dark mode, almost like the new one lol

We have had it for quite sometime on Android! You don't see this?

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 09/05/2025
Actually @fedica.com is the first to support Bluesky, more than a year before others followed And we do support content warnings
fedica support for content warnings

Yeah I think we need to compare Apples-Apples Left side B series, right side E series Of course it's more expensive but when you factor in the other things it's not worth the switch

Hey there, You can! Click "Customize Post" then you will see the option at the bottom for the platforms that support it (Bluesky, Mastodon and Pixelfed)

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 25/11/2024
To re-order, switch to the "List" then "click "Rearrange" Is there something in the Pipeline that we need to make simpler to use than what we have now (or is it just the initial setup process)?

ça viendra, c'est déjà construit mais il y a des limites à Bluesky que nous devons résoudre avant de pouvoir le lancer pour tous les utilisateurs

Hey Jacob, There is no lack of multiple accounts, it's just a paid feature not included in the free plan. I think our free plan is generous enough (up to 9 platforms), so it's fair to put multiple accounts behind a paywall

@emilyliu.me Hey Emily, Prepping a big new launch of more Bluesky tools from us but ..... we are concerned about rate limits (the tools are server based) There is a note at the bottom of the rate limits page (screenshot) How can we reach out? :-)

Hey Andrew! So on this message: bsky.app/profile/prea... We actually have this exact capability right now See screenshot! But it's not ready for prime time. Would you be interested to join a Beta test?

Not showing up in the search result that's just being de-indexed, and mostly happened 4 years ago during disinformation campaigns not the same as being shadow banned. Here is a screenshot of accounts literally marked as spam by X and still getting OK from the tool you shared

Hi Sozi, We have always supported alt text. Alt Text is set right at the bottom of the image when you compose your message

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 26/06/2024
Here is a demo of how it works: 1. Click ALT button on each of the media in the library 2. Add your description in the box 3. Click "Add"

How about putting it directly int the pipeline settings?

The old app icon was not really an icon just a picture which made it unusable for most purposes (Technically they had no official icon and we used a blue circle to represent Bsky - see images below) The old Twitter icon was great, I'd argue the best social media icon

🇨🇦 Samir Al-Battran @samir.fedica.com · 24/12/2023
New logo adopted! I have to say the 🦋 look really nice, especially when placed near other socials And definitely a big improved from the empty blue circle we used in the past :)
