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.

  1. In VK, open your community → Manage → Working with API → Access tokens and create a key with wall and photos rights.
  2. In Sosial, open Channels → VK.
  3. Enter the community link, short name or numeric id, and paste the access key.
  4. Select Connect.

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.

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.
