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's decentralized timeline means your content appears chronologically — threading helps you share longer ideas without losing your audience. This tool handles the splitting and numbering so every toot is properly formatted and ready to post.
How to Use This Tool

- The tool splits your content into toots of 500 characters or fewer.

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 — Mastodon relies on hashtags for discoverability since there's no algorithm.
- 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.
