X (Twitter) Growth Tools

Growing on X (Twitter) isn't only about what you write. It's about when the post goes out, what happens after it lands, and who you're trying to reach in the first place. Fedica has six tools for those three jobs, and they work on your other connected platforms too.
Fedica's social media calendar
  • Thread scheduling over time: spread a thread's posts across hours or days so they don't all land at once.
  • Poll scheduling: schedule polls on four platforms, and use the answers as research.
  • Auto Plugs: a follow-up reply that posts itself once one of your posts passes a threshold you set.
  • Post Booster: reposts a post automatically once it passes a threshold you set.
  • Post recycling: set a post to repeat on a timer, after a number of hours, days, weeks, or months.
  • Account search: find the accounts worth reaching, by what they post or who they are.

Thread scheduling over time

A thread doesn't have to go out all at once. Fedica can spread its posts over hours or days, so it keeps surfacing while people are still around to see it.

We ran the test on our own account, and the numbers were resoundingly strong: 2417% more impressions on the opening post, and 159% higher average impressions per post.

Our users were the first anywhere to schedule X (Twitter) threads, back in early 2019 when we were still called Tweepsmap. You set the gap between posts while you build the thread, in the X (Twitter) scheduler.

Post recycling

Recycling in Fedica is the Repeat setting on a post in the composer. You set it to go out again After a number of hours, days, weeks, or months. Turn on More than once and it keeps going Until a date you pick, though a post repeating in hours only ever goes again once.

On X (Twitter), a repeat isn't a second copy of the post. Fedica sends it as a repost of the original, so the likes and replies keep collecting on one post.

That's the same action Post Booster performs, and the only thing that differs is what starts it: a repeat runs on your clock, Post Booster waits for your threshold. Both live on the post itself, alongside everything else in your content calendar.

Acting on the posts that take off

The next two tools are one mechanism with two endings. You set a threshold, Fedica watches for the posts that clear it, and then it acts. An Auto Plug replies underneath the post. Post Booster reposts it.

The threshold itself works identically in both: a whole number from 1 to 999, counting either Likes or Reposts. One rule can cover several connected accounts at once, and posts that never reach the number are left alone.

Picking the number: pitch it above what a typical post of yours earns, not below. You're trying to catch the ones that outperform, and a threshold under your average will fire on nearly everything.

Auto Plugs

An auto-plug is a follow-up reply that lands underneath a post once that post starts working. It's where the link goes, or the offer, or the ask for a follow.

You write it once and save it under a name, so you can keep several on hand: a newsletter plug, a product plug, one that just asks for the follow. Fedica pre-fills a default to start from: "Enjoyed reading this post? Make sure to follow @yourhandle for more posts like this one."

Auto Plugs run on X (Twitter), Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads. All four support the threaded reply an auto-plug depends on.

Setting one up

  1. In the dashboard, open Calendar Settings and choose Autoplug.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Give the plug a Name. This is only for you, so name it after the job it does.
  4. Write the reply in the text box. The character counter underneath tracks you against the limit.
  5. Under If the post/thread hits, enter a number from 1 to 999 and choose Likes or Reposts.
  6. Select the accounts it applies to, then click Save.

Saved plugs show in the list with their name and reply text, ready to edit or delete. After that, a qualifying post gets its reply on its own, and a post only ever gets plugged once.

Automatically repost your best performers

Post Booster is Fedica's version of auto-retweet, and mechanically it's the Repeat function with a condition attached. A plain repeat goes out on your clock. Post Booster goes out only if the post earned it.

So you set two numbers here, not one. There's the threshold, and there's how long Fedica waits before the repost, which can run up to 48 hours: long enough that a post has time to prove itself, short enough that the repost still lands while the conversation is alive.

Post Booster runs on X (Twitter), Bluesky, and Mastodon. Most of the auto-retweet tools it gets compared against are X-only.

Setting it up

  1. In the dashboard, open Calendar Settings and choose Post Booster.
  2. Switch on Enable Post Booster. The settings below stay greyed out until you do.
  3. Under Repost after, enter the number of hours to wait, up to 48.
  4. Set the threshold under If the post/thread hits: a number from 1 to 999, counted as either Likes or Reposts.
  5. Select which connected accounts should repost automatically. The supported platform icons sit at the top of the panel.
  6. Click Save.

After that there's nothing to do per post. A post that clears the threshold inside your window gets reposted to your own timeline at the hour you set, and it shows up on your calendar with everything else you've scheduled.

Poll scheduling

A poll is a research instrument that happens to look like a post. It asks your audience something you'd otherwise have to guess at, and it collects answers from people who'd never have written a reply. It's a great way to increase engagement!

Fedica schedules polls on four platforms rather than one, so the same question runs wherever your audience is.

Works across your other platforms

  • Bluesky: both Auto Plugs and automatic reposts.
  • Mastodon: both Auto Plugs and automatic reposts.
  • Threads: Auto Plugs.

A threshold means the same thing on each of these as it does on X (Twitter), so there's nothing to relearn moving between them.

Questions about X (Twitter) growth tools

Does Fedica have auto-retweet for X (Twitter)?
Yes, and there are two ways to do it. On X (Twitter) a repeated post goes out as a repost of the original, so the Repeat setting is auto-retweet on a timer: it goes out again after a number of hours, days, weeks, or months, whether or not the post did well. Post Booster does the same thing conditionally, holding the repost back until the post passes an engagement threshold you set.
How is this different from scheduling a post?
Scheduling decides when a post goes out. These tools decide what happens after it goes out. Fedica watches the post's engagement and acts only on the ones that pass the threshold you set, so nothing fires on a post that didn't land.
What can trigger an Auto Plug or an automatic repost?
Two counts: Likes or Reposts. You enter a whole number between 1 and 999 and pick which of the two it counts. Both Auto Plugs and Post Booster use the same trigger, so a threshold means the same thing in either place.
Is Post Booster the same as post recycling?
They're closely related. Both end in the same thing on X (Twitter): a repost of your original post. A plain repeat runs on a timer you set, in hours, days, weeks, or months. Post Booster holds that repost back until the post passes your engagement threshold, and it works inside a window of up to 48 hours.
Which platforms do these work on?
Auto Plugs and threads run on X (Twitter), Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads. Post Booster runs on X (Twitter), Bluesky, and Mastodon. Recycling works on all platforms.
