Automate news posting to your Twitter community in 2 minutes

If you want to update your Twitter community with the hot news on your topic, this Nekton automation can help you out.

It will automatically find a random hot post from one of the subreddits you select, convert it into a tweet, and post it to your account.

How to set this up:

  • Use this Nekton flow template: Automatically post news to Twitter
  • Provide a list of Reddit communities to watch (you can get the community name from the URL in the browser, e.g. for https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/ , the community name is "ChatGPT"), and connect this flow to Twitter.
  • Run the flow, and see a new tweet.
  • Optionally, set up a schedule in settings to run it every day or every few hours.

That's it! Keep your community entertained and engaged.

I made this flow in a few minutes using Nekton.ai automation. With it, you can describe what needs to be automated in plain English, and Nekton AI will write the code for you and run it in the cloud.

Try making your own community-building flows, or automate other things! For example, you can pull posts from other sources, like your forum or blog.

    This is a pretty clever automation use case — especially for community managers who struggle to keep feeds active daily. Pulling from Reddit + converting to tweets is a nice lightweight content pipeline.

    Have you tried adding any filtering to avoid low-quality or repetitive posts?

    Interesting approach — this basically turns Reddit into a content discovery engine for Twitter communities. I can see this being useful for niche tech or startup audiences where fresh content matters a lot.

    Curious if you’ve seen better engagement with automated posts vs manually curated ones?
