FAQs

Common questions about lucette and how it works.

Getting started

What is lucette?

lucette is a minimalist social scheduling tool for Threads and Bluesky. Schedule your posts, then let lucette handle the rest. Simple, fast, reliable.

How do I get started?

  1. Sign up for a free account with your email
  2. Connect your Threads or Bluesky account
  3. Create your first post
  4. Schedule it or post it now

That's it. No complex setup, no confusing options.

Do I need to pay to use lucette?

No. lucette is free to use during its private beta. You can schedule up to 3 posts per day.

Scheduling

How far in advance can I schedule posts?

Up to 14 days in advance.

What's the minimum time between posts?

1 hour between posts. This helps your posts feel natural, not spammy.

lucette is in private beta. These limits are the current defaults and may change as the product evolves.

Can I schedule posts for specific times?

Yes. When creating a post, choose "Schedule Post" and pick your date and time. Times are shown in your timezone.

What is "Let it Flow"?

"Let it Flow" automatically schedules your posts at natural, optimal times.

  • Schedules 1-3 posts per day (customizable in Settings)
  • Posts spaced at least 4 hours apart
  • Natural times (9 AM - 6 PM in your timezone)
  • Quarter-hour intervals only
  • Respects your daily posting limits and minimum intervals

Perfect when you have multiple posts and want them distributed naturally over time.

How do I customize "Let it Flow" frequency?

Go to Settings → Flow Scheduling and choose how many posts per day you want (1, 2, or 3). The default is 3 posts per day. This setting applies to all flow scheduling, whether from the composer or bulk scheduling in the Pending queue.

Can I edit a scheduled post?

Yes. Click the edit icon on any scheduled post to change the content, media, or schedule time.

Can I delete a scheduled post?

Yes. Click the delete icon on any scheduled post. This removes it from lucette only. If it's already published on your connected platform, you'll need to delete it there too.

What happens if a post fails to publish?

Failed posts appear in the "Failed" tab. Click the retry icon to try again. lucette will automatically retry failed posts, but you can also retry manually.

Importing content

How do I import posts from an RSS feed?

  1. Go to Settings → RSS Feeds
  2. Click "Add Feed" and paste your RSS feed URL
  3. Click "Sync" to import new items
  4. Review imported posts in the Pending queue
  5. Schedule them individually or in bulk

Limit: 1 RSS feed.

How often are RSS feeds synced?

RSS feeds are synced manually. Click the "Sync" button in Settings when you want to import new items. Auto-sync is coming soon.

Can I import posts from a CSV file?

Yes.

  1. Prepare a CSV file with a "content" column header
  2. Add your posts (one per row, within your platform's character limit)
  3. Go to Queue → Pending tab
  4. Click "Upload CSV" and select your file
  5. Review and schedule imported posts

Media

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, and GIF images are supported.

How many images can I add?

1 image per post.

lucette is in private beta. These limits are the current defaults and may change as the product evolves.

What's the maximum image size?

Images are automatically compressed if they're over 4MB. lucette handles compression for you.

Analytics

Can I see how my posts perform?

Yes. View analytics in the Published tab:

  • Views
  • Likes
  • Reposts
  • Replies
  • Engagement rate

How often are analytics updated?

Analytics are updated in real-time as engagement happens on your connected platform.

Multi-platform posting

Which platforms does lucette support?

lucette supports two platforms:

  • Threads (Meta) - 500 characters
  • Bluesky - 300 characters

Connect one or both in Settings. Bluesky is available to every account; Threads access is by request — enter your Threads username in Settings and connect once you're approved.

What is a primary platform?

Your primary platform is your main posting destination. You choose it in Settings. Posts always publish to your primary platform first.

How does crossposting work?

When you schedule a post with crossposting enabled:

  1. Your post publishes to your primary platform first
  2. If successful, it automatically crossposts to enabled secondary platforms
  3. If the primary fails, no crossposting occurs

You can toggle crossposting per-platform in Settings, or per-post in the composer.

What about character limits?

When posting to multiple platforms, the most restrictive character limit applies. For example, if posting to Threads (500) and Bluesky (300), your post must be 300 characters or less.

lucette shows character limits in the preview for each platform.

Technical

Are my accounts secure?

Yes. lucette uses OAuth 2.0 for all platform connections. We never see or store your platform passwords. All tokens are encrypted at rest.

What permissions does lucette need?

lucette only requests minimal permissions for each platform:

  • Read your profile (username, avatar)
  • Post on your behalf
  • Read post metrics (for analytics)

We never access your DMs, private messages, or platform passwords.

Can I use lucette on mobile?

lucette is a web app that works on mobile browsers. A native mobile app is planned for the future.
