First-comment auto-publish, Bluesky @mentions & custom links, RSS approval queue

May, 2026

Here are four new features designed to make your scheduling even smoother:

  • Bluesky @mentions now show a person’s chosen name (if it’s not longer than the handle),
  • Bluesky custom link previews now let you type the anchor text for links in your posts.
  • Set the first comment to auto-publish right with your scheduled post on key platforms.
  • RSS feed posts can now be held in Pending Review for your approval before anything is published.

Included in this release

💬 First comment scheduling for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok
One scheduling pass can carry the main post plus the first comment underneath it.

  • Add the first comment while you build the schedule.
  • When the parent post goes live, Fedica posts that first comment for you.

🔗 Username links for Bluesky
When you @mention someone, Fedica links to their profile using their chosen name for the visible text instead of their handle when their name is shorter, and the mention still points at the right account. This makes your posts more personal and easier to read which many like on Bluesky’s platform.

  • You keep using @mentions the way you already do and Fedica applies the name-or-handle rule for you.
  • Scheduled posts publish with the same behavior.
  • This can be disabled so @mentions always publish with the full handle.

🔗 Editable Bluesky links in Markdown format
You can edit anchor text for any link in the post.

  • Put the words people should tap or read inside square brackets. Put the full URL inside parentheses immediately after, with no gap between ] and (. Example:
    [Website](https://example.com)
  • Scheduled Bluesky posts keep the anchor text and URL you typed.

📰 RSS and Pending Review
RSS-sourced posts can land in Fedica’s calendar as Pending Review instead of going straight out the door for Research Plan users.

  • Open the draft and edit it, or leave it parked until you are ready.
  • Nothing in that queue publishes until you clear it.

Tip
If a blog or news RSS feed pushes straight to social, Pending Review is the brake before anything hits the content calendar.
