   Anyone knows of a #Mastodon app that allows you to do drafts of #Threads ? (Not facebook - actual threads)
   @feditips ? 🙏

     @dcm @elduvelle @apps

     Thanks for that!

     I also just checked Tusky to see if it has it, but it only seems to have post drafts rather than threads.

     They don't mean Facebook Threads, they mean threads of posts in Mastodon.

     @elduvelle @feditips if you have iOS, then threads does that

     @SynAck @elduvelle

     Just to be clear, Toot! lets you write threads in advance, but there's no way to save them for later. If you want to do something else before publishing the thread, you have to discard the thread completely.

     @elduvelle @feditips Toot! for iOS also does this

     Yeah, as someone pointed out these new names like "Threads", "Meta", "X" etc are guaranteed to cause confusion and they're impossible to filter out because of this.

     @feditips @rootfs Indeed. I wish they hadn’t called their app “threads”… why would you do that 🤦

     @wonkothesane @elduvelle

     Would those be in a thread though? Or would they be many separate posts?

     @elduvelle @feditips Ivory let’s you create unlimited drafts, so you could write out a bunch of toots and then publish them one after another. It’s not as intuitive as the way Toot! But it sorta has the same effect

     @wonkothesane @feditips even drafts of threads? Not single posts?

     @elduvelle @feditips there was some desktop focused on journalism with that feature. Can't remember name.
     Or you can use instance with big post char limit and don't make threads

     @jekely @elduvelle @feditips a CLI client for Mastodon! OMG that reminds me of the golden age of LiveJournal and such in the early 2000s. Those were great times, I think, before the rise of modern-day social networking and apps and such.

     @elduvelle @feditips

     You can do this with the toot tool:
     https://toot.bezdomni.net/introduction.html

     Author your complete thread in one .sh file and post it with all media etc. You can reply as many times as you want.

     #!/bin/bash

     toot post "toot 1" > toot_id.txt -m path/to/image.png -d "My image"

     id=$(grep -oE '[0-9]+$' toot_id.txt) && echo $id

     toot post --reply-to $id "reply to toot 1" -v 'unlisted' -m path/to/image2.png -d "My 2nd image"

     toot post --reply-to $id "second reply to toot 1" -v 'unlisted'
