Limitations in Autoposting
LiveDune works with social networks exclusively officially, through the official APIs of social networks.
Unfortunately, some features are still unavailable in the API, which is why we cannot add them to LiveDune.
Depending on the social network, there are various limitations and file requirements for posting.
Up to 10 media files can be uploaded for one post (except LinkedIn — no more than 9 and Twitter — no more than 4).
On Facebook* and LinkedIn, you can either post a video or images in one post; other social networks do not have such restrictions.
Instagram
For Creator accounts, Auto-Posting Stories is currently unavailable on Instagram. As soon as this feature is available in the official Instagram API for Creators, we will implement it immediately.

You can post no more than 50 publications (posts, Stories, and Reels) in the account via the API within 24 hours. When the limit is reached, you can continue posting through the mobile app.
