Scheduling posts on #Mastodon by @FediTips fedi.tips/scheduling-posts-on-masto… #FediTips #fediverse #TipOfTheDay
fedi.tips
Scheduling posts on Mastodon
Post scheduling means you write posts now, and they are automatically posted later at times and dates of your choosing. This is very useful for accounts that need posts to go out at particular times of day, for example to reach people reading their feeds in particular time zones, or to accompany scheduled live events such as streams or radio shows. ## Scheduling through third party apps Some third party apps have scheduling options built in: ANDROID: Tusky, Fedilab, Moshidon ⧉, Subway Tooter ⧉ iPHONE / iPAD: Mona ⧉ LINUX & WINDOWS DESKTOP: Tuba ⧉ WEB: FediPlan ⧉, Phanpy ⧉ ## Professional post scheduling services There are now commercial companies offering advanced post scheduling services that include compatibility with Mastodon and other social networks. The two most prominent at the moment are Publer ⧉ and Buffer ⧉. ## Scheduling through self-hosting If you’re techy and want to self-host a scheduling app, there’s a new free open source third party web app called Mastodon Scheduler ⧉ or alternatively you can self-host the software used on FediPlan ⧉. ## Why doesn’t Mastodon have a built-in scheduler? This is the weird part… Mastodon _does_ actually have a fully functional built-in scheduler buried deep in its code! However, for some unexplained reason, the official web interface and official apps don’t yet give you any way to access it. This leads to the bizarre situation where you can only use Mastodon’s official post scheduling system through unofficial third party apps, and that’s what is used by the third party apps listed above. If you’re comfortable using Github, you can vote for an official Mastodon scheduling interface to be added by giving a thumbs up at this issue ⧉. ↩ Back to the front page
