    What This Tool Does

    The Mastodon Thread Generator splits your long-form content into individual toots that fit within Mastodon's 500-character limit. Each toot is automatically numbered so your followers can read the full thread in order.

    Mastodon home timelines show posts in the order they arrive, so a thread lets you share a longer idea as a connected series of replies. This tool handles the splitting and numbering so each toot is ready to post.

    How to Use This Tool

    1. Paste or type your complete text into the input field.
    2. The tool splits your content into toots of 500 characters or fewer.
    3. Each toot is automatically numbered in thread format.
    4. Preview all toots in the output panel to check readability.
    5. Copy individual toots or the entire thread with one click.

    Tips for Better Results

    • Start with context. Mastodon users may discover your thread from any instance, so don't assume shared knowledge.
    • Use content warnings (CW) for sensitive topics. It's a core part of Mastodon etiquette.
    • Keep threads focused. Mastodon audiences appreciate depth on a single topic over scattered thoughts.
    • Tag your toots with relevant hashtags. Many people on Mastodon find posts by following or searching hashtags.
    • Engage with replies to your thread. Mastodon communities are highly interactive and value genuine conversation.
    • Consider your instance's norms. Different Mastodon servers have different cultures and expectations.
