Plans: Pro and Business. A follow-up comment is a comment PublishBuddy posts under your own post once it’s live. People use it for links, hashtags, or extra details they don’t want in the caption. You can add more than one and space them out with a delay.

Which networks take follow-up comments

Follow-up comments don’t work on Stories. When you pick Story, the comment section goes away. On X, Threads and Bluesky, each comment replies to the one before it, so they form a thread under your post. On the other networks, every comment goes directly under the post.

Add a comment

1

Write your post

Click New Post, pick your accounts, and write the post as usual.
2

Make one account active

If you picked several accounts, click the avatar of the account you want to comment on. The comment section only shows while an account is active. With one account picked, it’s active already.
3

Click the plus next to Add a comment

You’ll find Add a comment under the text box. A new comment box opens.
4

Type the comment

Write the text. On networks that allow it, you can also add one image or video.
5

Add more if you like

Click the plus again for another comment. Click a closed comment to open it again.
Comments belong to one account. To comment on two accounts, click each avatar in turn and add their comments. See Change a post for just one network.

Add a delay

By default, a comment goes out shortly after the post is published. To wait longer:
1

Open the comment's menu

Click the menu button in the top right corner of the comment box.
2

Choose Add a delay

A window opens with Post comments after:.
3

Set the wait

Enter a number from 1 to 100. Pick Minute(s), Hours or Days. Click Save.
The delay counts from when the post goes live. For a second or third comment, it counts from when the comment before it went out.

Limits

  • A comment can be up to 1,000 characters.
  • The network’s own caption limit applies too. On X, for example, a comment longer than X allows stops with “Comment text validation failed.”
  • Each comment can have one image or video, and only on the networks in the table above. Add a second and you’ll see “Comments can have only one media item”.
To remove a comment, open its menu and choose Delete Comment, or click the trash icon on a closed comment.

On the Free plan

On Free, you can write comments in the composer. But when you save the post, you’ll see “Please upgrade your plan.” Remove the comments to save, or upgrade. See Plans compared.

If a comment doesn’t post

A comment is posted separately from the post. If it fails, your post stays live and only the comment is marked as failed. PublishBuddy doesn’t try it again. See My follow-up comment didn’t post.
