I’ve made an app that makes it possible to schedule a post in Lemmy at an arbitrary time. It’s available at https://schedule.lemmings.world and can be used by people from any instance.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. This post was made using the app!

Edit: And it’s open source!

    It’s open source if it’s any help.

    Hmm.

    You’ve made a good tool, but perhaps are conducting in the wrong marketing? If this tool were say, an easy-to-use Rasp. Pi and/or docker image that will post at the appropriate times, then it might avoid that issue?

    Then again, I see the advantage of your web-centered approach. Eventually OAuth will be a thing for Lemmy, I’m sure, and then the workflow for a web tool like this would be perfect. Username/password is strictly a temporary measure until Lemmy matures and gets OAuth features.

      Well, it’s possible to self-host. Someone offered they will create a docker image for it.

      Note that with OAuth nothing much will change - the app will still have access to the JWT token which is used to impersonate you. And that I don’t do anything with the password you can see already in the source code:

        The user will have the option to revoke access for your application.
