How to reply to comments from several social networks in one inbox

Which networks have comments

The Comments page works for X (Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, Threads and Bluesky. The other networks (LinkedIn, TikTok, Telegram, Facebook, Pinterest, Discord, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Google Business Profile and Slack) do not have a comments inbox in fanout yet, so replies there stay on the network.

What the page shows

On the left is a list of your posts that have comments, from the connected networks. Select a post to read its comments, with replies nested under the comment they answer. Your own replies are marked "You".

Three tabs filter the list, each with a count: Unanswered, All and Hidden. A comment counts as unanswered when it is not yours, can be replied to, is not hidden and has no reply from you yet. You can also filter by network, and by profile if you use profiles.

What you can do with a comment

The page offers these actions.

• Reply to a comment, or to the post itself if you do not pick a comment.
• Like a comment.
• Hide a comment, and unhide it later from the Hidden tab.

Not every action on every comment

Reply, like and hide buttons appear only when the network allows that action for that comment. If a comment has no Hide button, the network does not offer hiding it through fanout. The page does not offer deleting comments.

Reply and move on

Type your answer and press Reply, or Ctrl or Cmd with Enter. Reply and next sends it and moves to the next comment waiting for an answer. Like and skip likes the comment, where the network allows it, and moves on without replying. J and K move between comments when you are not typing.

A reply is sent as a normal reply from your account on that network, so read it as the commenter will.

Suggested replies

The Suggest replies button offers a few draft answers to the comment you are on. Clicking one puts it in the reply box. It is only a draft: edit it, or write your own. Nothing is sent until you press Reply.

Suggestions do not know your history with a person. Check that a suggested reply fits the comment, especially for complaints or questions that need a real answer.

A routine for getting through them

Work through the inbox in this order.

• Open the Unanswered tab and work from the top.
• Answer questions first, since they have a person waiting.
• Like and skip comments that need no answer.
• Hide abusive or spam comments instead of leaving them on your post.
• If you run several brands, filter by profile so you answer as the right account.
