Your link on Threads: what Meta allows and what creators do
Updated · LuxOnly Creators
In this guide
Quick answer: Threads lets you add up to five links to your profile and see how many people visit them, but Meta's Community Standards don't allow offering sexual content, even by hinting at it or through a link. So what almost every creator does is use those slots to send people to her Instagram and other SFW profiles, never to her paid page or to a page that leads there. Your Instagram does the convincing.
What Meta says (and what it doesn't)
There are two official pieces worth knowing before you touch your profile:
| Official source | What it says | What it means for your link |
|---|---|---|
| Meta's announcement of new Threads features (May 15, 2025 update) | You can add up to five links to your bio and see how many people visit the links you share | Technically there's room for links, and you can track visits to them |
| Meta's policy on adult sexual solicitation | Threads follows the same rules as Instagram, and this section restricts offering or asking for sexual content, including through hints or a way to get in touch | A link to your paid page, or a caption hinting at it, is exactly what this policy watches for |
What you won't find in any policy is a list of "banned domains" on Threads. The practical call comes from putting both pieces together: there's room for links, but whatever you add has to be something you'd show anyone. This builds on the link section of Threads for OnlyFans creators.
Where each of your five links should go
Think of the five slots as doors. Only some of them should be open:
| Destination | Would you add it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your Instagram | Yes, first | That's where your profile is set up to convert and where your link lives |
| Another SFW profile (say, a channel about your hobby) | Yes, if you keep it clean | It builds trust without getting near the policy |
| Your own landing page | Not on Threads | Its one button leads to your page; to Meta that's almost the same as linking it |
| A link page with your paid page on it | No | It hides the destination, but the destination is still there |
| Your paid page, directly | No | It's the clearest clash with the solicitation policy |
Wondering why a landing page can work on Instagram but not here? On Instagram your whole profile is built to lead there carefully, while Threads is mostly public text and conversation, where an invitation reads far more bluntly. For Instagram, see how to add your OnlyFans link on Instagram.
Set it up step by step
- Check your Instagram first. If the bio, photo and link aren't ready, sending people there is pointless. Do this before you touch Threads.
- Edit your Threads profile with the edit profile button and add your Instagram as the first link. Check how it looks on your phone.
- Only add SFW destinations. If you're unsure about one, leave it out: two clean links beat five questionable ones.
- Write a bio that sparks curiosity without asking for anything. Who you are and what you talk about, with no "DM me," no suggestive emojis and no mention of paid platforms.
- Check visits to your links every week. Meta shows you how many people visit the links you share. If your Instagram link gets nothing, the problem is what you post, not the link.
- Review your bio once a month. What was fine a year ago may not be today, so reread the rules now and then.
Example: three Threads bios that don't ask for anything
| Style | Sample bio | Links |
|---|---|---|
| Hot takes and humor | "Unsolicited opinions on TV shows and iced coffee. Austin." | |
| Gym and routine | "I lift, I eat, I overshare (minus the filters. Okay, some filters)." | Instagram + an SFW workout channel |
| Goth and alt | "Platform boots, sharp liner and music your mom wouldn't get." |
The pattern is always the same: one line with personality that makes people want more, and the next step is your Instagram. Your day-to-day posts do the rest; for ideas, see what to post on Threads.
What not to do with your link
- Don't type your page into a post, not with spaces, dots or swapped letters to "get past" the filter. Disguising it doesn't change what you're offering.
- Don't drop your link in replies or DMs to people who didn't ask. Beyond the policy, it reads as spam.
- Don't use come-find-me lines like "you know where to find me" next to suggestive photos. That combo is exactly what the solicitation policy looks for.
- Don't open another profile just to hold the link you're afraid to put on your own. From what creators report, that trick ends up costing both accounts.
If Threads has limited you or went down along with your Instagram, read Threads and Instagram bans before you change anything.
Common mistakes
- Assuming "five links" means "five of anything." The feature is meant for podcasts, articles or shops; the rules don't change because you have more slots.
- Sending people to a half-finished Instagram. They land, can't tell who you are, and leave. First, set Threads up on an Instagram that works: how to start Threads from your Instagram.
- Changing your bio every day. It doesn't help reach, and it eats time you could spend commenting, which is what actually grows a Threads account: how to comment your way to growth.
- Not tracking anything. Without checking visits to your links, you can't tell whether Threads is doing anything for you.
Tools that help
- Threads' edit profile screen, for your links and bio.
- Threads Insights, to see visits to your links.
- Instagram Insights, to see whether visits from Threads end up tapping your link.
- OnlyFans tracking links, one per platform, so you know which subscribers came from your Instagram: OnlyFans tracking links.
What we never do
We never disguise links with swapped letters, never open side profiles to hold what doesn't belong on yours, and never send mass messages with links. Your links point to SFW places and your Instagram does the work. For every other platform, the full map of where your link goes is in your link in bio: from profile visit to subscriber.
Frequently asked questions
Can you put your OnlyFans link on Threads?
Threads lets you add up to five links, but Meta's rules restrict offering sexual content, including through a link. The safer move is linking your Instagram and other SFW profiles, not your paid page.
How many links can you add on Threads?
Up to five in your bio, according to Meta's official announcement from May 2025. You can also see how many people visit the links you share.
What about a landing page on Threads?
We wouldn't. If its one button leads to your paid page, for practical purposes it's like linking it. A landing page works better on Instagram, where your profile is set up for it.
Why am I not getting visits from Threads?
It's almost always what you post, not the link. Threads grows through conversation: commenting on big posts and replying to people who reply to you.
To create on these platforms you must be 18 or older and verify your identity with the platform.
