Native format
The shape of content a platform is built to show, such as a Reel, a carousel, a story or a written post.

What “Native format” means
Every platform has formats it was designed around. Instagram has Reels, carousels and stories. TikTok is built on short vertical video with sound. Facebook favors plain posts with photos and links. YouTube separates short clips from long videos. LinkedIn leans on written posts. Content made in a platform's native format looks at home there. Content pasted in from somewhere else usually looks borrowed.
Native formats are the main real difference between platforms, which is why one idea can serve all five once it is adapted. Linkme's page shows Link AI creating Reels, carousel posts and story posts. It does not list the formats supported on every platform, so that is a point to confirm. The entry on AI tools for Instagram starts the platform series.
