Support for Threads in Bluesky, Twitter, and Mastodon

Description

As a user, I often post across these platforms and rely on threads to deliver more context in a readable format.
Having built-in support for creating and posting post threads would greatly enhance usability and align with how these platforms are used in practice.

we just need to add an option to create a thread when composing a post.

Yeah, this is something that's been on mind. How would you expect to use such a feature?

Currently, whenever I publish a post, I usually get a link to view it. We could extend this idea to also support threads.

1. Link-based threads – Provide links for individual posts across different social media platforms, and allow grouping the post as a thread starting from the previous post.
2. Flag-based threads – Since threads are usually made up of subsequent posts, we could introduce a --thread=yes flag. Any subsequent post created with this flag would automatically be linked to the previous one created with this flag, forming a continuous thread.

I would prefer second option for now.
Since I just go to terminal write some stuff post it then I want to add more to that i create a thread.

Hmm sorry, I'm not understanding the user experience you're describing. Please be specific:

• Are you talking about using the CLI only? The MCP server? The API?
• Are you saying you'd still post one message at a time and you're expecting the app to maintain context from the last post to know it's a thread?

Sorry for the confusion, I am talking only about the CLI flow here.

Are you saying you'd still post one message at a time and you're expecting the app to maintain context from the last post to know it's a thread?

• Yes, one option woould be to post messages one at a time, practically reply to the existing thread.
• other option would bee to post the entire thread in a single go.

I am talking from the user perspective using the CLI.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for creating this. it saves a lot of time. makes it easier to give updates on my oss projects

Thanks, that helps. I don't want the app to maintain state in between runs, so we'd need some other approach to posting threads. Potentially as a file input.
