LinkedIn, Instagram and your own WordPress site publish through a connection. Substack, a blog, LinkedIn Articles, X, Reddit, Hacker News and technical documents are copy and paste. TikTok is read-only.
What it does
Each platform has one way out, and Reach states it. LinkedIn, Instagram and your own WordPress site publish through a connection. For the others, a panel gives you the formatted text and opens the platform's own editor, and you press Mark as published when it is up.
TikTok is connected so Signals can read your own videos. Nothing publishes to it.
Why
A button that says Post and does nothing on some platforms hides the work you still have to do. Reach tells you before you click.
What it won't do
- It doesn't claim to post to a platform that only offers copy and paste.
- It doesn't publish to TikTok.
- It doesn't mark a copy-and-paste post as published on its own, except for Substack, where it also looks for the post on your publication and closes it when it finds it.
How to use it
Open the Reach guide in your dashboard, or start a trial to try it.
