# Supported platforms: Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, HN (https://snitchfeed.com/docs/platforms)





SnitchFeed monitors **public** posts and comments on five networks. Reddit and Bluesky are watched in real time. X (Twitter), LinkedIn and Hacker News are searched on a schedule you set for each listener.

## Platforms at a glance [#platforms-at-a-glance]

| Platform        | What SnitchFeed collects                    | How often                        | Track profiles                |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Reddit**      | Posts and comments                          | Real time                        | No                            |
| **Bluesky**     | Public posts                                | Real time                        | No                            |
| **X (Twitter)** | Public posts matching your keywords         | Every 1 to 24 hours (default 4)  | Yes                           |
| **LinkedIn**    | Public posts matching your keywords         | Every 1 to 24 hours (default 12) | Yes, people and company pages |
| **Hacker News** | Stories and comments matching your keywords | Every 1 to 24 hours (default 6)  | No                            |

Tracked profiles follow specific accounts, so their posts are collected even without a keyword match. See [Track profiles](/docs/listeners/tracked-profiles).

SnitchFeed does not read private messages or non-public profiles.

## What each platform costs [#what-each-platform-costs]

| Platform        |                                                                                                Credits per scan |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| **Reddit**      |                                                                                                    No scan cost |
| **Bluesky**     |                                                                                                    No scan cost |
| **X (Twitter)** |                                                                         {CREDIT_COSTS.TWITTER_POLL} per keyword |
| **LinkedIn**    | {CREDIT_COSTS.LINKEDIN_POLL} per search. A keyword with author job title filters runs one search per job title. |
| **Hacker News** |                                                                      {CREDIT_COSTS.HACKERNEWS_POLL} per keyword |

Every keyword is scanned separately at the listener's interval. Faster intervals find posts sooner and use more credits. AI scoring costs {CREDIT_COSTS.MENTION_AI_SCORING} credits per stored mention on every platform, including Reddit and Bluesky.

Set intervals in a listener's **Scan Intervals** section. See [Scans & backfill](/docs/listeners/scan-intervals) and [Credits](/docs/credits).

## Choose your platforms [#choose-your-platforms]

| If you want                                      | Start with                                                    |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Timely replies in fast-moving threads            | **Reddit**, **Bluesky** and **X**                             |
| Longer buying questions from named professionals | **LinkedIn**. Use author job title filters to narrow results. |
| Feedback on a technical or developer product     | **Hacker News**                                               |

On Reddit you can also include or exclude subreddits, choose posts, comments or both, and decide whether to include NSFW results. These live in the listener's **Reddit** section.
