想在(Want)Twitter 上(Twitter)写一篇长篇文章，但又担心你想说的所有内容都不能放在一条推文中？最简单的选择是发布一系列推文并将它们组合成一个推特(Twitter)线程（或推文线程）。
使用推文线程，您不必将自己限制为标准的 280 个字符。相反，您可以使用此社交媒体平台为您的观点提供额外的背景或论据，并在以后使用更多信息对其进行更新。您将在下面找到有关Twitter线程外观以及如何创建第一个线程的更多信息。
什么是 Twitter 线程？(What’s a Twitter Thread?)
过去，每条推文都有 140 个字符的严格字符限制，而这就是你在Twitter 上(Twitter)的一篇文章中所能写的全部内容。然而，随着平台的发展，Twitter 用户(users)不断要求更多空间来表达自己。由于Twitter不希望其用户(users)切换到Snapchat或Instagram等其他平台，因此他们引入了新的帖子格式。
今天，您可以发布更长的推文、民意调查、GIF(GIFs)、图像和视频、队列(fleets)和线程。Twitter线程是一个相对较新的功能。
Twitter 上(Twitter)的线程是同一Twitter用户发布的一系列相互关联的推文。它们通过回复(Reply)功能链接在一起，并显示为一条连续的推文，第二条和其他附加推文附加到原始的类似推文的评论上。
如何在 Twitter 上查找和查看主题(How to Find and View Threads on Twitter)
如果它是您关注的某个人的帖子，您会在时间线上看到它是几条由一条直线连接的推文。如果线程有四个或更多推文，则推文将被截断。要展开并查看整个线程，您需要选择单个推文旁边 的显示此线程选项。(Show this thread)
在您的个人资料中，主题将显示为单独的推文，按时间倒序发布。属于线程的每条推文都将具有相同的(Every)显示此线程(Show this thread)选项接下来显示。当您转推(Retweet)或引用(Quote Tweet)属于某个线程的推文时，该转推还将包含“显示此线程”(Show this thread)消息，以便其他人可以选择它以查看整个线程。
用户通常用#threadTwitter线程，以将它们与普通推文区分开来，并避免他们的追随者在整个线程完成之前就对第一条推文发表评论。
为了确保您的关注者以正确的顺序阅读您线程中的推文，您还可以对线程中的帖子进行编号：例如，1/5、2/5 等。如果您在线程中提及某人，他们将收到Twitter上关于它的标准通知。
Twitter 线程与 Tweetstorm(Twitter Thread vs Tweetstorm)
如果您以前听说过 tweetstorms，那么了解Twitter线程可能会让人感到困惑，因为它们看起来是一样的。虽然线程和推文风暴可能是同一回事，但情况并非总是如此。
当用户快速发布多条推文时，一个接一个，这称为推文风暴。但是，只有当这些推文也相互回复并以这种方式连接时，它们才会成为一个线程。如果推文没有与回复(Reply)功能链接在一起，它们仍然是可以成为推文风暴一部分的单独推文，即使它们彼此没有连接。
您还可以找到与不同事物相关的单词 tweetstorm。当许多不同的用户就同一主题发推文时（例如，使用相同的主题标签或链接），有些人也称其为推文风暴。但是，这种用法示例如今已很少见。

What Is a Twitter Thread and How to Create Your First One
Want to cоmpose a lengthy post on Τwitter but afraid that еverything you want to say won’t fit in a single tweet? The easiest option is to pоst a series оf tweets and combinе them into a Twitter threаd (or a tweеt thread).
With the tweet thread, you don’t have to limit yourself to the standard 280 characters. Instead, you can use this social media platform to provide additional context or arguments for your point, as well as update it later with more information. Below you’ll find more information about what Twitter threads look like and how you can create your first one.
What’s a Twitter Thread?
It used to be that every tweet had a strict character limit of 140 characters, and that’s all you could write in a single post on Twitter. However, as the platform evolved, Twitter users kept asking for more space to express themselves. Since Twitter didn’t want its users to switch to a different platform like Snapchat or Instagram, they introduced new post formats.
Today you can publish longer tweets, polls, GIFs, images and videos, fleets, and threads. Twitter thread is a relatively new feature.
A thread on Twitter is a series of connected tweets posted by the same Twitter user. They’re linked together by the Reply function and appear as one continuous tweet with the second and other additional tweets attached to the original tweet-like comments.
How to Find and View Threads on Twitter
If it’s a thread from someone you follow, you’ll see it on your timeline as several tweets connected by a straight line. If the thread has four or more tweets, the tweets are truncated. To expand and see the entire thread, you need to select the Show this thread option next to the individual tweet.
On your profile, a thread will appear as separate tweets, posted in reverse chronological order. Every tweet that belongs to a thread will have the same Show this thread option displayed next. When you Retweet or Quote Tweet that belongs to a thread, the retweet will also include the Show this thread message so that other people can select it to see the entire thread.
Users usually mark their Twitter threads with the #thread to distinguish them from normal tweets and avoid their followers jumping on commenting on the first tweet before the whole thread is complete.
To make sure your followers read the tweets in your thread in the correct order, you can also number the posts in your thread: e.g., 1/5, 2/5, etc. If you mention someone in a thread, they’ll receive a standard notification on Twitter about it.
Twitter Thread vs Tweetstorm
If you have heard of tweetstorms before, learning about Twitter threads might be confusing, as they seem one and the same. While threads and tweetstorms can be the same thing, it’s not always the case.
When a user posts a number of tweets quickly, one after the other, that’s called a tweetstorm. However, they only become a thread if these tweets are also replies to one another and are connected in that way. If the tweets aren’t linked together with the Reply function, they remain individual tweets that can be a part of a tweetstorm, even if they have no connection to each other.
You can also find the word tweetstorm used in relation to something different. When many different users tweet about the same topic (e.g., using the same hashtags or links), some people call that a tweetstorm too. However, this usage example is a lot less common nowadays.
How to Create Your First Thread on Twitter
There are two different ways that you can use to create a thread on your Twitter account. You can use both the Twitter website and the mobile app. Follow the steps in our tutorials to create your first thread on Twitter.
How to Create a Twitter Thread Using the Reply Function
The easiest way to make a thread on Twitter is to publish a tweet and then use the reply function to add more tweets to your thread. To make your first thread on Twitter, follow the steps below. The steps are the same for Android, iOS, and desktop users.
- Open the Twitter app or website, and log into your account.

This method is easy to use but the main problem here is that your followers might not know that this is a thread you’re creating and start asking questions in the replies that you’re going to answer in the following tweets. If you choose this method, make sure to include #thread in your first tweet, and number any following tweets to let your followers know there are more posts coming.
How to Create a Twitter Thread Using the Threads Tool
Another way to avoid a situation where your followers start commenting on your posts before the thread’s finished is to create it using Twitter’s built-in threads feature. It allows you to create an entire Twitter thread with however many tweets you like and then publish them all at once.

- Type in your second tweet. Then select the + icon again to add another tweet.
- When you’re ready to publish your thread, select Tweet all.
You’ll now see your thread appear in your Twitter feed.
