Tips for Mastodon
- Most servers allow 500 characters, but the limit depends on your server.
- Choose the visibility for each post: Public, Unlisted or Followers only.
- Use a content warning to hide a post behind a short line of text until people click it. Many communities expect it for some topics.
- Connect with an access token from your server's Development settings. Postozo needs permission to write posts and media and read your account.
- Follow-up comments become replies, so you can post a thread.
Example Mastodon post

How approval, AI and analytics work on Mastodon
Approval. If the Mastodon channel belongs to a customer with approval turned on, every post waits for a yes. The client sees a preview on a review link and can approve, ask for changes or comment. A post that is changed after approval goes back for a new yes.
AI. The AI assistant can fit a post to Mastodon, keeping it under 500 characters, in your brand voice. It can also translate it, suggest a first comment and write alt text for pictures. Nothing changes until you accept.
Analytics. Mastodon shares results with apps like Postozo, so you can see numbers for each published post on the analytics page. Links in your posts can also be shortened to count clicks.
