VK
Reach Russian-speaking audiences on the network they use daily.
VK is one of the largest social networks in the Russian-speaking world. Sosial posts to your community or profile through the VK API, so scheduled updates, links and media publish exactly when you plan them.
Connect VK
VK posts to a community (group or public page). Posting to a personal profile is restricted by VK.
- In VK, open your community → Manage → Working with API → Access tokens and create a key with wall and photos rights.
- In Sosial, open Channels → VK.
- Enter the community link, short name or numeric id, and paste the access key.
- Select Connect.
Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Post limit | 16,384 characters |
| Media | Photos, video and links with previews |
| Where it posts | A community (group or public page) or your profile |
| Auth | VK OAuth access token |
The composer checks these as you type, so a post that's too long for VK is flagged before it's scheduled.
What works on VK
- Russian-speaking audiences
- Community updates
- Links and media posts
Tips
Post from the community, not your profile
Community posts carry the page identity and build a following rather than a personal timeline.
Let the link make its own preview
VK renders a rich card for shared links. Paste the URL on its own line so it expands cleanly.
Attach media for reach
Posts with an image stop the scroll in a way plain text cannot.
Avoid
- Publishing from a personal profile when you meant the community.
- Expired access tokens after a password change on the VK account.
- Pasting a raw URL inside a sentence, which stops it previewing.
