Add Threads to your link in bio

Linky's Threads integration currently offers a Follower Count block that pulls your audience size from the Threads API, refreshing about once a minute. As Threads continues to grow and expand its developer platform, this is a straightforward way to signal your presence on the platform to visitors who may not yet know you are there.

In the Linky editor, add the "Follower Count" block from the Threads section. You will be walked through an OAuth authorisation flow where you grant Linky read-only access to your Threads profile. Once connected, your follower count appears on your page and updates automatically about once a minute - no manual updates required.

Threads is where many creators and journalists are building an audience distinct from Instagram or Twitter. If you have cultivated a following there, surfacing that number on your link page is an easy way to cross-promote the community and encourage visitors from other channels to find and follow you. Social proof numbers, even on newer platforms, consistently improve click-through to profile links.

The Follower Count block works best alongside a Link Box that sends visitors directly to your Threads profile. Place the count next to a short call to action - "Join the conversation on Threads" - and you have a compact, high-converting placement. You can also combine it with your Instagram blocks if you want to show your broader Meta ecosystem reach in one place.
