How to Create a Twitter Thread
Learn how to compose and publish multi-tweet threads on Twitter/X using Reepl's thread editor
Twitter threads let you break longer content into a series of connected tweets. Reepl's thread editor gives you a visual multi-tweet composer where you can write, reorder, and preview your entire thread before publishing it as a single sequence.
Before you start: You need a connected Twitter/X account. See Connect Your Twitter/X Account if you have not done this yet.
Open the Content Creator
From the left sidebar, click Content Creator and select Twitter / X as the platform.
Switch to thread mode
Click the thread toggle in the composer toolbar to switch from single-tweet mode to the thread editor. The editor expands to show numbered tweet slots.
Write your thread
Each tweet in the thread has its own editor with a 280-character limit. The first tweet shows "Start your thread..." as placeholder text; subsequent tweets show "Continue the thread...".
- Click Add tweet to add a new tweet to the thread (up to 25 tweets)
- Each tweet displays a numbered indicator (1, 2, 3, etc.) showing its position
- Attach up to 4 images or videos per individual tweet
- Hover over a tweet and click the x icon to remove it (only available when the thread has more than one tweet)
Reorder tweets
Drag tweets using the grip handle on the left side of each tweet to reorder them within the thread.
Preview the thread
The live preview panel shows how each tweet in the thread will appear on X, including the connected thread line between tweets.
Publish
Click Post to publish the entire thread at once. Reepl publishes each tweet in sequence, linking them together as a thread on X.
What success looks like
After publishing, the full thread appears in your Published tab. All tweets in the thread are linked together on X, with the first tweet appearing in your followers' timelines.
If a tweet in the middle of a thread fails, Reepl reports a partial failure. The tweets that published successfully remain live on X, but the thread may be incomplete. Check the error details and consider posting the remaining tweets manually.
Tips
- Front-load the hook. The first tweet is the only one most people see in their feed. Make it compelling enough that they click to read the rest.
- Keep each tweet self-contained. Individual tweets in a thread can be retweeted separately. Each one should make sense on its own.
- Use auto-thread detection. If you paste a long block of text, Reepl can automatically split it into tweet-sized chunks for your thread.
Auto-Threading
When you write content longer than 280 characters, Reepl can split it into a thread automatically so you do not have to break it up manually.
Enable the Auto-thread toggle
In the thread composer toolbar, turn on the Auto-thread toggle. It is located next to the thread mode button.
Paste or write your content
Type or paste your long-form content into the first tweet slot. As you type past the 280-character limit, Reepl splits the text at a natural break point and pushes the overflow into a new tweet slot.
Review each slot before posting
Each split tweet gets its own numbered slot in the thread editor. Review and adjust the content in each slot -- Reepl gives you the final say before anything goes live.
Publish
Click Post when you are happy with the split. Reepl publishes the tweets in sequence as a linked thread.
Each tweet in a thread supports alt text for images and videos. After uploading media to a tweet slot, click the media thumbnail to open the alt text field. Adding alt text improves accessibility for users who rely on screen readers.
