Analytics and plugs

Postline collects the post's score (shown as likes) and comment count. It does not track follower counts.

Plugs:

  • Auto-repost: not supported.
  • Follow-up: supported. Postline adds a follow-up comment once the post's score reaches the number you set.

Known issues

  • Accounts with two-factor login aren't supported.
  • If you add an image, it's used as the post's link instead of the Link setting.
  • If the community can't be found, the post fails with Lemmy community "…" was not found.
  • Postline signs in with your password each time it posts. If sign-in fails, you see "Lemmy sign-in failed. Check the username and password." and need to reconnect.
