Tŵt News and Updates
A simple way to get your content onto Tŵt is to automatically post to your Tŵt account when your Twitter feed updates. This could be when you Tweet something or when your Twitter account is updated by another source like Wordpress or LinkedIn.
To crosspost automatically you'll need to connect your Twitter account to your Tŵt account using a crossposter service.
Toots cannot be searched* but hashtags can. Use Hashtags to get your content noticed, or to find Toots about a particular topic.
Some of our more popular hashtags include:

Tŵt is the independent, community-led network for Wales and the Welsh, at home and abroad. Tŵt offers three services: microblogging, photo sharing, and long form blogging / writing.
Tŵt promises that each service will: 1. Be available in Welsh and English 2. Safeguard your privacy and keep you safe from bullying and harassment 3. Be free of charge and never accept advertising fees
All our services are independent of each other, you will need to register for each separately. All our services Federate, meaning we are connected to the Fediverse – a collection of independent social media networks that believe in a community-driven social Web.

Our flagship microblog Tŵt features community toots, conversations, news and opinion from English and Welsh language sources. Events, announcements, and anything contributed by the larger community. Popular Welsh bloggers will be featured on Tŵt, and so will you! Add your thoughts, pictures, stories, links, holiday snaps… Tŵt is what you make it!
In addition, Tŵt is part of a larger network of networks called “Mastodon”. Mastodon is an open source social network platform with hundreds of thriving communities and millions of members. If you choose, members on other Mastodon communities can follow you, and you can follow them! On Tŵt this is the difference between “local” and “federated” feeds, and opens up your potential audience to a global network of independently moderated communities.
Please do! There are free services to cross-post your tweets, blogs and likes to Tŵt. Or, start posting on Tŵt and have those toots carried over to your existing social media accounts. If that all sounds technical and confusing, the community is ready to help you!
