What changes, one by one

The hashtag rules are not the same

LinkedIn: 3 hashtags (5 max) at the end. Telegram: not needed. Carrying the tag block across is the single most obvious sign of an automated cross-post.

Telegram lets you put the link back in

LinkedIn penalises links in the body, so posts written for it park the URL elsewhere. On Telegram links in the body are fine — putting it back is free reach.

Why copy-paste cross-posting underperforms

LinkedIn is professional and first-person; the hook must fit in 210 characters. Telegram is direct and clear; formatting is light. Those are different jobs, so the same words cannot do both well — and every algorithm here demotes text that obviously was not written for it. The fix is not to skip cross-posting; it is to send a native version to each network.

Publish to both in one call

curl -X POST https://postwire.io/api/post \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTWIRE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["linkedin", "telegram"],
    "text": "Your post",
    "per_platform": {
      "linkedin": { "text": "The LinkedIn version" },
      "telegram": { "text": "The Telegram version" }
    }
  }'

PostWire's /api/generate writes those per-platform versions for you from a single prompt, respecting every limit in the table above. From an AI agent it is one MCP tool call.

Do this without writing the post twice

PostWire takes one idea and publishes a version written for each network — the right length, hashtags and format per platform. It also refuses posts that would fail, like a video network with no video, before they are queued.

Free for one brand — 30 posts a month, no card. Starter is $9/month for three brands and 300 posts. There is a REST API and an MCP server if you would rather automate it.
