What's a good "scheduler" for Mastodon/Fediverse posts? Like I write 3-4 posts in advance, and schedule them ahead of time?
@jerome I used to use TownCrier, but it’s gone

@jerome
A shell script;
cron;
and Toot.https://pypi.org/project/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.

@jerome I've been using this free service for a while: https://plan.fedilab.app/
It uses the scheduling feature of your Mastodon server and does not rely on any external service. I consider that a win.

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.

@laprice I’ve been here since 2022, the tone policing is not required
Thank you for the project suggestion!

@shochdoerfer Fascinating, had no idea Mastodon had the feature under the hood
Thank you!

@jerome very few clients implement this. I guess that's why nobody knows about it
