Sync Threads Saved Posts

Cleaned-Up Transcript (with “uh” and “um” removed)

In this video, we're going to walk you through how to pull in your saved posts—your bookmarks—from Threads into Dewey. It's incredibly simple, and it will take less than two minutes.

Once you're in Threads, you'll probably be shown the “For You” tab (or feed, if you will). You can toggle that to just look at people you’re following, but it's similar to X or Blue Sky or any of the other text-based social networks.

What you want to do first is save the actual post. Threads calls it “saved posts”—they don't call it bookmarks—but for all intents and purposes, it's the exact same thing. So we're going to go ahead and save that, and you'll see that a pop-up has come up on the bottom that says “post added to Dewey.” That's showing up because I have the Dewey Chrome extension installed, so make sure you have that installed first before attempting to do this. We’ll assume you have it installed, and now you want to make sure that it's showing up in Dewey as well.

Before we do that, I'll just make sure that it's showing up in my saved section in Threads. This is wonderful—I only have one Threads post saved here.

What would happen if I had many and wanted to search them? Well, that's why we created Dewey. Let's go into Dewey and just make sure that it's populating there as well. Okay, it is populating here. You'll see the little Threads icon that shows it's from Threads, and the full text post is here.

If you saved a full thread of content on Threads—it's a little confusing that they decided to call it “Threads,” but basically it’s a series or a chain of posts that are all linked back to that first post (a style popularized on Twitter before it became X, and now many other text-based social networks do the same)—we will pull the full content of that thread into Dewey. So it works just the same as any of the other social networks that Dewey works with, and you can find all of these posts now in Dewey. You can search them, organize them, add tags, export them—you can do whatever you want with them.

That's pretty much it. Hope you enjoy!
