# 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.

### To view comments on trending posts from within Publer:

* Go to the **Explore** tab on Publer.
