See what's live
The Live tab shows a client's published posts as they look on each network, with their latest numbers.
Live is the client's feed as the world sees it, newest first: every post published through lmnts, and for Instagram, Facebook, Threads and LinkedIn, posts made directly on the network too. Everyone who can open the client can see it, including client logins.
Step 1: Open the client and choose Live. In the menu on the left, Live also lists each network, so you can open the feed already filtered.
Filter the feed
- All platforms shows everything; a network's button shows only its posts. The number on each is how many live posts it has.
- Posts and Stories appear when the client has stories. Stories are kept apart because they vanish after 24 hours and their numbers stop then.
- Ads · 7 days sums the last week of Meta ad spend, impressions, clicks and ROAS, when a Meta ad account is connected. Owners, the team and client admins see it.
- Threads mentions lists recent Threads posts that tag the account. Your team can Reply from here.
If Engage is on for the client, Live has two tabs: Feed and Engage.
Open a post
Select any post. It opens large on the left, with its details beside it:
- View on Instagram (or the post's network) opens it on the network. Open in lmnts opens the lmnts post behind it, for posts made in lmnts.
- Engagement shows what the network reports, such as likes, comments, shares, saves, reach, impressions and views, with when it was last synced. A boosted post also gets a From ads section that splits out what the ads brought in. Its views line reads Paid + Organic = views; when the ads counted more impressions than Instagram counted views, it gives the two numbers on their own instead (such as 7K views on Instagram, 21.6K ad impressions), since they can't be split.
- Comments lists the post's public comments. See Reply to and moderate comments.
- Promote this post is where you boost it. See Boost a post.
Full screen gives the details the whole width. Select ✕ or press Esc to close.
Fresh numbers
Numbers update on their own about every 30 minutes. When you open a post, lmnts also asks the network for its latest numbers if the ones it has are more than a few minutes old, and the panel updates by itself. Owners, the team and client admins can follow View full analytics to the client's Insights.
Remove a post from the network
Team members with the Delete posts and tasks permission can take an Instagram, Facebook, Threads or LinkedIn post down from the network with Remove from Instagram (or that network) at the bottom of the details, then Remove to confirm. Nobody else sees that button.
