How to view comments on trending posts through Publer

DesktopStart


Viewing comments on trending posts can help you understand how people are reacting to popular content on X. This can be useful if you want to spot trends, measure audience sentiment, and find ideas you may want to reuse in your own content strategy.


Due to API limitations from Instagram, you can view comments only on trending Twitter/X posts, not on Instagram.


Due to X limitations, replies are only supported on your own X posts and on replies under your own posts from any X account you manage. This means replying to comments on trending posts is not supported in Publer.



  • Go to the Explore tab on Publer.



  • Choose the Trending Posts tab.



  • Choose a Platform, Category, and filter by Latest posts or Top posts by clicking one of the options from the dropdown:



  • Click on the post of your choice to open it and press View comments.



  • For Twitter/X trending posts, you can view the comment section and see how people are reacting to the post.
  • To view the post directly on Twitter/X, press View on Twitter / X.



Keep in mind:


  • To view comments, you must have a Twitter/X account connected to Publer. If you don't have one, follow these instructions to connect your account.
  • Due to X limitations, replies are only supported on your own X posts and on replies under your own posts from any X account you manage.
  • This means replies are not available on competitor posts or trending posts.
