I guess that's why nobody knows about it ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you!

Thank you for the project suggestion!

Mastodon itself can do that. It's just not exposed in the web UI. So, use a Mastodon client that has an UI for it, like Tusky on Android.

It uses the scheduling feature of your Mastodon server and does not rely on any external service. I consider that a win.

A shell script;
cron;
and Toot.

But, be transparent about what you are doing and why.

This isn't twitter or linkedin where you can drive by spam your audience and expect them to be grateful.

It's a place that expects and rewards personal connections and a bot posting a marketing pitch is going to get ignored at best and irritate people at worst.

The scheduling itself is a Mastodon feature and happens on the server, so it doesn't matter if you're offline at the time the post should go online.

It's not good for reading quote posts (yet) but maybe worthwhile for writing your posts?

  • Buffer (https://buffer.com), which has pretty good Mastodon support. You can schedule an entire thread with it as well. The only limitation is that it doesn't really know about per-instance character limits, it limits you to 500 characters per post regardless of instance.

  • Phanpy (https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy), an alternative Mastodon client which allows you to schedule posts right from the compose box. There is a little calendar icon under the compose box. I believe it uses the Mastodon server-side post scheduling API (https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/issues/188), so the scheduled post is just queued on your instance server, and will get sent even if the Phanpy client is closed.

That is why someone took the time to write one.
