Social Parler The guide to hosting and joining live conversations on X

Upcoming sessions

Upcoming sessions

Social Parler doesn't run its own chats. This page shows you how to list yours, so people can find the next session and turn up at the right time.

People decide to join a live session days in advance, not minutes. A clear, up-to-date schedule is what makes that possible. It also helps guests: a list of past and upcoming topics shows what kind of conversation they'd be joining.

What each listing needs

Every session in your schedule should answer the same questions in the same order:

Field Example Why it matters
Date and day Monday, November 9 People scan for the day first
Time in 2 or 3 zones 9pm ET / 6pm PT / 2am UK (Tue) Avoids the most common mix-up
Format Text chat or Space Tells people whether to type or listen
Topic Growing a newsletter from zero One line, specific
Guest or co-hosts Handles, if any Their followers will look for it
Where #NewsletterChat, or the Space link How to actually join

Use the chat planner to get the correct time conversion for your exact date. It shows ET, PT, UK time, Central European time and India time, and flags when the session falls on a different calendar day somewhere.

Mark skipped weeks openly. A planned break keeps regulars; a silent gap makes them think the chat ended.

Where to put your schedule

  • A pinned post on X. The simplest option. Update it weekly by posting a new version and pinning that, so the pinned post always shows the next session first.
  • Your profile bio. Room for one line: the hashtag, the day and the time, such as "#YourChat Mondays 9pm ET."
  • A page on your own website. Best if you have one. It can hold the full schedule, links to past recaps, and guest bios, and it stays findable in search.
  • A scheduled Space. For audio sessions, scheduling the Space in the app (up to 14 days ahead) creates a link people can set a reminder from. Add that link to the schedule.

Keep it honest

List only sessions that are confirmed. If a guest hasn't agreed yet, write "guest to be announced" instead of their name. If a session is canceled, update the schedule as soon as you know and say so in a post. People who planned their evening around it will appreciate the notice, and that's how a schedule earns trust.

Common questions

Can I submit my chat to be listed on Social Parler?
We don't publish a directory of other people's sessions. Use the template on this page to keep your own schedule on your profile, a pinned post or your website, where you can update it every week.
How many sessions ahead should I list?
Four to six. That's enough for regulars to plan and for guests to see what's coming, and few enough that you can keep it accurate.
