Mentions can help you increase your reach, foster collaboration, and build a sense of community on your social networks.
Only mention users who have clearly indicated they want to be contacted. Repeatedly mentioning the same handle in a short period can lead to your account being restricted or suspended for abusive behavior (spam). Therefore, our system limits mentions to:
the same @mention only once every two days
a limit of 5 mentions per post (or 3 on Instagram)
These limits are based on extensive experience with social media APIs. These restrictions reflect both official guidelines and observed practices across different platforms. They're designed to ensure compliance with each social network's policies and avoid the risk of account suspension.
Recommendation:
We recommend not mentioning the same handle more than once a week.
Instead of an @mention, use a hashtag like #Name or include the person/company's name directly in your post text. Social networks have excellent search engines that will surface the content.
To mention another account, simply add the identifier as an @handle (with no spaces) to your caption.
If you don’t know the user’s handle, .
To find a user's handle on Instagram, visit their profile page and look for the username displayed under their profile picture.
On Facebook, you can find an account's identifier by visiting their profile and checking the URL. The identifier will be the text following "facebook.com/".
LinkedIn handles are found in the URL of a compyn profile page, after "linkedin.com/in/".
To find a TikTok username, visit the user's profile page, and their username will be displayed under their profile picture.
On X, a user's identifier is on their profile page, displayed under their name.
Our system cannot verify the validity of the @username. You must ensure you use the correct one. if you don't know how to do this.
