Social Media Posting Limits for Jetpack Social

Posted on August 14, 2024 by bob matyas

Learn about the posting limits on various social media platforms, along with our recommended posting frequencies to help you maintain engagement and avoid being flagged for spamming.

When managing social media accounts, it’s important to be aware of the posting limits imposed by different social networks to avoid being flagged for spamming. By understanding and adhering to these platform-specific posting guidelines, you can effectively manage your social media presence, fostering engagement and avoiding potential restrictions.

Here are reported posting limits for supported social networks, along with some recommendations for engaging effectively:

Facebook

Facebook is a space where connections and conversations are key. While the upper limit is 35 posts per day, it’s generally recommended to post 1–2 times daily to maintain a steady presence without overwhelming your followers. Regular, thoughtful updates help keep your community engaged and foster meaningful interactions.

Instagram

Instagram thrives on visual storytelling and creative expression. The platform allows up to 50 posts per day, including Reels and Stories. However, focusing on quality over quantity with 3–5 posts per week can enhance your engagement, allowing your content to resonate more deeply with your audience.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a professional networking hub where insightful, valuable content takes precedence. The platform permits up to 50 posts per day, but it’s advised to post 1–2 times daily to maximize reach and maintain a professional image. Consistent, well-timed posts can help establish your expertise and grow your professional network.

Threads

Threads is designed for rapid, conversational updates. You can post up to 250 times per day. To make the most of this platform’s dynamic nature, a suggested frequency of 2–3 posts daily ensures you stay visible and engaged in ongoing discussions without overwhelming your audience.

Mastodon

Mastodon offers a more decentralized and community-focused experience. With a limit of 100 posts per day, you have ample opportunity to participate in community conversations. Engaging authentically with your followers and spreading out your posts helps maintain a neighborly tone within your chosen instances.

Nextdoor

Nextdoor is all about fostering a sense of community among neighbors. While there is no specific daily posting limit, maintaining a neighborly tone and engaging authentically with your local community is crucial. The platform encourages users to post regularly, with a suggested frequency of 3–5 posts per week to build trust and maximize reach within your neighborhood.

Disclaimer: These are general suggestions based on available information, as most social platforms do not provide official or clear posting limits. If you have specific questions or concerns about posting on a particular platform, we recommend contacting their support team directly

Known issue

There is a known issue with the authorization process. If you log in to Threads as part of the authorization flow, it often fails due to security settings on the Threads login page preventing communication with the popup window. It is therefore best to be logged in before connecting the account. If an error is displayed, close the window and attempt the authorization again. The authorization will succeed on the second attempt.

Post to Nextdoor with Jetpack Social

Posted on November 6, 2023 by Alin Clamba

Thanks to Jetpack Social‘s auto-sharing feature, you can automatically publish each one of your blog posts on your Nextdoor profile. Foster community engagement by sharing content with your neighbors on Nextdoor.

Connecting Jetpack Social to your Nextdoor account

Important: Jetpack Social currently supports sharing only to personal Nextdoor profiles. Nextdoor Business Pages are not supported at this time.

To automatically share your posts to Nextdoor, you first need to connect to your account. You can do that by following the steps:

  1. Navigate to your site’s WP Admin and go to Jetpack -> Social.
  2. Click Connect an account, find Nextdoor in the list, and click Connect.
  3. A new tab will open where you can log in to your Nextdoor account.
  4. On the Nextdoor login screen, press the Accept button to continue.
  5. You’ll be redirected back to your WP Admin. Locate and click the Connect button once more to complete the connection.

To confirm the successful connection, you’ll see a notice at the top of the screen that says, “Your Nextdoor account has been successfully connected.”

Marking the Nextdoor as shared

If you’d like to give your site’s other users (administrators, editors, and authors) access to your Nextdoor connection, enabling them to share posts to the same Nextdoor profile, you can do so by following the steps:

  1. From your site’s WP Admin, go to Jetpack -> Social.
  2. Under Connected accounts, click the downward facing arrow beside the Nextdoor connection.
  3. Check the option that says Mark the connection as shared.

When this option is enabled, all administrators, editors, and authors who publish posts on your site will be able to share them to the same Nextdoor profile.

Connecting multiple Nextdoor accounts

With Jetpack Social, you can easily expand your network by connecting multiple Nextdoor accounts. This enables you to conveniently share your posts across more Nextdoor profiles. To add a new account, follow these steps:

  1. From your site’s WP Admin, go to Jetpack -> Social.
  2. Under Connected accounts, click Connect an account.
  3. Find Nextdoor in the list and click Connect more.
  4. Follow the prompts to connect your additional Nextdoor account.

Troubleshooting Jetpack Social Nextdoor connections

As a first step, check that your Jetpack connection is working properly. Jetpack Social will not work correctly otherwise.

If you’re trying to connect a Nextdoor account but it keeps defaulting to the wrong profile — or the Business Page isn’t appearing — please note:

Jetpack Social currently supports sharing only to personal Nextdoor profiles. Nextdoor Business Pages are not supported at this time.

If you continue to have trouble with Jetpack Social, take a look at our documentation for troubleshooting Jetpack Social.

Post to Mastodon with Jetpack Social

Posted on June 6, 2023 by stefmattana

Automatically publish your blog posts on your Mastodon profile with the Jetpack Social auto-sharing feature. 

Connect your site to your Mastodon profile

To connect your Mastodon social media profile to your website, follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your Mastodon account.
  2. From your site’s WP Admin, go to Jetpack → Social.
  3. If the Jetpack Social sharing feature is turned off, turn on the Automatically share your posts to social networks toggle to enable it.
  4. Click on the Connect an Account button.
  5. Find the Mastodon logo on the “Manage Jetpack Social connections” window and click the Connect button adjacent to it. A field will open below for you to input your Mastodon username in this format: @yourmastodonusername@mastodon.social.
  6. Click the Connect account button.
  7. Next, a dialogue box will appear, prompting you to authorize the connection. Click the Authorize button to do so.
  8. Confirm the connection on the following pop-up window by clicking on the Connect button.

You can also link another Mastodon account by clicking the Connect one more account button and following the indications.

Open the Mastodon connection to other website users

Additionally, you can extend the Mastodon connection to all blog users:

  1. Click the arrow beside the Mastodon sharing option.
  2. Select the Connection available to all administrators, editors, and authors option. This ensures that any other users connected via Jetpack can automatically publish posts through this Mastodon connection.

Note that by opening the Mastodon social connection to other Jetpack users, these users can only share their posts on Mastodon. They don’t have access to anything else; for example, they cannot access your Mastodon account(s) directly.

Reset Mastodon connection

If you experience issues with Jetpack Social sharing to your Mastodon account, such as posts failing to publish, outdated permissions, or connection errors, resetting the connection can often resolve the problem.

To do this, you’ll first need to revoke Jetpack’s access from within your Mastodon account settings:

  1. Log in to your Mastodon instance and navigate to Preferences → Account → Authorized apps (or Settings → Account → Authorized apps, depending on your instance).
  2. Locate the Jetpack entry in the list. You’ll see the permissions it was granted, along with the date it was originally authorized.
  3. Click the “✕ Revoke” button next to the Jetpack entry to remove its authorization.
  4. Once revoked, return to your WordPress site and navigate to Jetpack → Social (or Tools → Marketing → Connections on WordPress.com).
  5. Click Connect next to Mastodon and follow the prompts to re-authorize Jetpack with your Mastodon account.

After reconnecting, Jetpack Social will be issued a fresh set of credentials. Try publishing or sharing a test post to confirm that the connection is working as expected.

Note that revoking and reconnecting will not affect your existing Mastodon posts or followers: it only resets the authorization between Jetpack and your Mastodon instance.

Troubleshooting Jetpack Social Mastodon connections

When you think something is not working properly between Jetpack and your Mastodon profile, always check first that your Jetpack connection is working properly—Jetpack Social will not work correctly otherwise. If you continue to have trouble with Jetpack Social, look at our dedicated Jetpack Social Troubleshooting page.

Troubleshoot Jetpack Social

Posted on July 10, 2014 by bob matyas

Posts not being shared to your social media accounts by Jetpack Social? Get things working again.

Auto-sharing is a free feature of Jetpack Social. It does not require a paid subscription. For general features and FAQs, please see this information page.

Check Jetpack connection

As a first step to troubleshooting issues with Jetpack Social, check that your Jetpack connection is working properly – Jetpack Social will not work correctly without a healthy Jetpack connection.

Check Jetpack Social connection

If you are unable to make the initial connection between Jetpack and your social media accounts, please follow these steps:

  1. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies.
  2. Try disconnecting the social media connection, then reconnecting.
  3. Try resetting the authorization of the WordPress app (disconnect and reconnect any app authorizations from within the social media page itself).

If you see a 500 notice when trying to connect a Jetpack Social connection, first check your Jetpack connection. Then contact your web host to have them look at your PHP error logs to deduct why the 500 errors are happening.

Check for global connections

If you have multiple authors who publish posts on your site and want to auto-share them, your social media connections will need to be global. If they aren’t, only the user who made the social media connection will be able to auto-share posts to social media.

Check Open Graph tags

For Jetpack Social to auto-share, your posts must have valid Open Graph meta tags. Follow these steps to check:

  1. Add view-source to the beginning of your post’s URL (example: view-source:https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-social/troubleshooting-jetpack-social/).
  2. Look for <!-- Jetpack Open Graph Tags --> in the output to see if your site has valid Open Graph tags.

The full output will look something like this (the exact meta tags will be generated based on your content):

<!-- Jetpack Open Graph Tags -->
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Troubleshooting Jetpack Social" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-social/troubleshooting-jetpack-social/" />
<meta property="og:description" content="If you are having trouble Publicizing your posts to your social networks, here are some troubleshooting tips that you can try before contacting us for help. Before taking a look at the below tips, …" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Jetpack" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://i0.wp.com/s0.wp.com/wp-content/themes/a8c/jetpackme-new/images-2019/jetpack-logo.png?ssl=1" />
<!-- End Jetpack Open Graph Tags -->

If a post does not include a Featured Image or any usable images, Jetpack automatically includes a fallback Open Graph image. This fallback ensures that social networks receive a valid image and prevents sharing failures caused by missing OG tags.

Jetpack’s Open Graph tags are not there

If you don’t see Jetpack’s Open Graph tags in your source, please follow these steps:

  1. Check to see if you have any other plugins that might generate Open Graph tags. The most popular of these plugins include Yoast SEO, Shareaholic, and the Official Facebook plugin; you can see the full list of plugins here.
  2. If you have one of these plugins active, make sure that you have enabled its Open Graph tag generation.
  3. Alternatively, if you want to continue using those plugins but not their Open Graph output, then you can use this plugin to force Jetpack to output its tags: Always Use Open Graph with Jetpack.

Remember to verify that you are not outputting duplicate Open Graph tags with any other plugin, as that will cause sharing your posts to fail.

Jetpack’s Open Graph tags are there but Jetpack Social still fails

If you see Jetpack’s Open Graph tags in your post’s source code, yet auto-sharing to Facebook still failed, the next step would be to use Facebook’s Debug tool to see if there are any error messages. It may be that a plugin that is not on the list mentioned above or even your theme is outputting duplicate Open Graph tags. Feel free to contact us to help you interpret the results.

403 Forbidden errors when sharing

If your post fails to share and you’re seeing a 403 Forbidden error, it means that the social media platform has denied Jetpack permission to publish on your behalf — even if your account appears properly connected.

Here’s what you can try:

  • Reconnect the social media account: Go to Jetpack → Social → Connections, disconnect the affected account, then reconnect it.
  • Try the reshare feature: After reconnecting, open the post in the editor and use the Reshare option to manually trigger sharing again.
  • Check the social platform’s account settings: Sometimes a platform may revoke certain permissions without clearly notifying you. Reauthorizing Jetpack access can help.

These types of errors are usually caused on the social network’s end, and we have limited visibility into the exact cause. Reconnecting often resolves the issue.

If the problem persists with a specific platform (like Nextdoor), feel free to contact us — we can help escalate the issue to their support team if needed.

Change the image that Facebook shows

Jetpack gives several options to Facebook, from the Featured Image, Post thumbnail, and other images in your post. Facebook decides which image they will display.

To increase the chances that a desired image gets chosen, make sure you are following Facebook’s image guidelines:

  • Recommended: at least 1200x630px
  • Required: at least 200x200px
  • For more detail about Facebook’s suggested image size, take a look at their support document.

Internationalized Domain Name

If your site uses an Internationalized Domain Name (one with non-Latin characters), then using Jetpack Social to auto-share posts to Facebook will fail.

There is no known workaround at this time. Facebook is aware of the issue but has not made any updates since 2013.

Post Duplicator issues

If you use a plugin to duplicate your posts, auto-sharing the duplicated posts may fail.

There are several possible solutions when using post duplicator plugins and Jetpack Social:

  1. Don’t start from a published post. Duplicate a draft post.
  2. If the plugin includes an option like “Don’t duplicate post meta” – enable that option.
  3. If the plugin doesn’t include that option, ask the plugin author if they included a filter to prevent duplicating the post meta.
  4. If there is no filter, ask the plugin author to exclude all post meta containing the ⁠⁠⁠⁠_wpas⁠⁠⁠⁠ string from ever being duplicated.

Post to LinkedIn with Jetpack Social

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Kyle Smith

Share your blog posts to your LinkedIn profile automatically using Jetpack Social. Sharing your content to LinkedIn helps you expand your professional network and enhance your visibility in your industry.

Automatically share posts to LinkedIn

To automatically share your posts to LinkedIn, please follow these steps:

  1. Connect your site to LinkedIn.
  2. Create a new post on your site.
  3. On the post page, in the upper right corner click the Jetpack icon (or the social icon if you use the Jetpack Social plugin).
  4. In the Share this post section, toggle on the option Share when publishing.
  5. Click the LinkedIn icon to select your connected LinkedIn account.
  6. Publish your post.

Make the LinkedIn connection available to all site users

You can make the connection available to all users of the website. This means that when another user creates a post on your site, it will also be auto-shared to this LinkedIn account. Depending on the plugin used, Jetpack or Jetpack Social, you can do this by following these steps.

Enable the LinkedIn connection to all users when using Jetpack plugin:

  1. Log in to your site’s WP Admin.
  2. Navigate to Jetpack → Settings → Sharing.
  3. Use the drop-down arrow from the right sidebar near the connection you want to share.
  4. Check the Mark the connection as shared option.

Enable the LinkedIn connection to all users when using the Jetpack Social plugin:

  1. Log in to your site’s WP Admin.
  2. Navigate to Jetpack → Social.
  3. Use the drop-down arrow from the right sidebar near the connection you want to share.
  4. Check the Mark the connection as shared option.

Troubleshoot your LinkedIn connections

The auto-share feature of Jetpack Social relies on a working Jetpack connection. If your posts are not automatically sharing, first check the Jetpack connection. For further assistance, visit our Troubleshooting page. If the issue persists, feel free to contact us.

LinkedIn Connection Expiration

Jetpack Social uses refresh tokens to keep your LinkedIn connection active. Once connected, your LinkedIn account will remain active for up to 12 months without needing to reconnect, as long as you continue using the editor or wp-admin during that time.

When the refresh token approaches expiration, Jetpack Social will display a notice asking you to reconnect your LinkedIn account. Reconnecting will renew the token and extend the connection for another year.

If your LinkedIn posts stop auto-sharing, it may be due to an expired connection. Reconnecting your LinkedIn account will restore sharing functionality.

LinkedIn Company Pages

There is a known issue with the LinkedIn API, where permissions are cached for 5 minutes. As a result, if you attempt to connect LinkedIn company pages and do not see them after authenticating with LinkedIn, you should try connecting them again after 5 minutes.

Previously scheduled posts not sharing after LinkedIn reconnection

In certain situations, when LinkedIn is reconnected, previously scheduled posts may not be shared as anticipated. We are working on improving this issue.

Temporary workaround: In the interim, we suggest you implement the following steps to mitigate this issue:

  1. Switch the status of the affected scheduled post to Draft.
  2. Remove the existing LinkedIn connection.
  3. Re-establish the LinkedIn connection.
  4. Change the status of the post from Draft to Scheduled.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your posts are shared on LinkedIn as planned.

When you use Jetpack Social to automatically share your blog posts to Facebook, you might notice a “Posted by Jetpack” message on your posts. This message only appears to you as the administrator of the Facebook page when you are logged in. Your visitors and followers will not see this message.

Posts do not appear on my page

When Jetpack Social publishes a post to your Facebook page, Facebook crawls your post and looks for Open Graph meta tags in the head to build the post preview with an image, title, and description. Errors in these tags can prevent your post from appearing correctly.

To troubleshoot:

  1. Check for errors by entering one of your post URLs in the Facebook Sharing Debugger.
  2. Fix any errors to ensure Jetpack Social works properly.
  3. If you see duplicate Open Graph meta tags, make sure you only use one plugin to manage them.

If your theme manages Open Graph tags, you may need to edit the theme or contact the theme author for support. If no issues appear in the Sharing Debugger, try disconnecting and reconnecting Facebook, and check for plugin or theme conflicts.

My Facebook page is not available to select

Jetpack Social currently has a limit of 25 Facebook pages that it can retrieve and display during the connection process. If your Facebook account manages more than 25 pages, you may want to transfer management of some pages to an alternative Facebook account to ensure the specific pages you need are visible.

In addition to the retrieval limit, Jetpack Social has the following connection limits per site:

  • Each site can have up to 45 shared Facebook connections available to all users.
  • Each individual user can connect up to 15 unique Facebook accounts per site, for a total maximum of 60 connections per site.

If you already have fewer than 25 pages and are still having trouble, please try the following:

  1. Completely disconnect your Facebook account from Jetpack Social.
  2. When reconnecting, click Choose what you allow to ensure WordPress has permission to manage all pages.

Reset the Facebook connection

If you encounter a problem while trying to reconnect Jetpack and Facebook, it can be helpful to completely reset the Facebook connection. This can also resolve issues related to recent permission changes, integration problems, or frequent reauthentication prompts.

You can reset the Facebook connection by following these steps:

  1. Log in to your Facebook account.
  2. Click your profile picture.
  3. Navigate to Settings and Privacy → Settings.
  4. In the left sidebar, under Your Activity and Permissions, click Business Integrations.
  5. Find and remove Jetpack Social from the list of integrations.
  6. Return to your site’s WP Admin.
  7. Reconnect Facebook via Jetpack Social.

Important:
When you reset the Facebook connection, all Facebook pages connected to any other sites through Jetpack Social on the same Facebook profile will be disconnected as well. If you have multiple sites using the same Facebook account, be prepared to reconnect each one individually.
