Cross-post from Mastodon to X
Fediverse-first accounts that still want the reach X gives a launch or an announcement. seenpaid publishes one draft to both at the same time — and then tells you which of the two actually produced a sale.
What changes between Mastodon and X
Watch the length. X is 220 characters shorter than Mastodon, so a full-length Mastodon post will not fit. seenpaid counts against the shorter limit while you write.
X: X requires its own API credits. X now charges for API posting — this is X’s pricing, not seenpaid’s. Add credits (or the free-tier voucher) to your X developer account, or it’ll fail. The free platforms (Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads…) post at no cost.
The question a cross-poster cannot answer
Posting to both is the easy half. The one worth knowing is which of them was worth it — and every other tool in this category stops at likes and reach. seenpaid tracks the link in each copy separately, watches your Stripe, and attributes a sale to the exact post and platform that produced it. After a month you stop guessing which of Mastodon and Xdeserves your time.
How the attribution works →Questions
Can I automatically post from Mastodon to X?
Yes. seenpaid publishes one draft to both at once — it is not a bridge that mirrors after the fact, so nothing is reposted twice and nothing depends on the first post going out successfully.
Will a Mastodon post fit on X?
Not always. Mastodon allows 500 characters and X allows 280, so anything over 280 characters has to be shortened. seenpaid counts against the shorter limit as you write and warns before scheduling, rather than failing at publish time.
Which of the two actually made money?
That is the part a cross-poster alone cannot tell you. seenpaid tracks the links in both copies separately, so when a sale lands in Stripe it is attributed to the platform and the post that produced it — you find out whether Mastodon or X is worth the effort.
