Okay, there's a frustrating backstory that I won't bore y'all with, but in this case, my Lemmy-mates have suggested that I should share image-content more slowly, rather than do roundups like this.

To explain: I personally hate withholding content when I have a load of some resource to share. I feel like a fraud, an a-hole, a userer, and all that stuff...

Yet I've been told repeatedly that it's better to just (in my words, 'act like a drone') drip the content, and yes, it's not hard to see the logistical point, but... bah.

I guess, end of the day, I always like to include something interesting about my posts, and it would be harder to do that via the "drip" posting method, which... pretty much circles back to why I post the way I do, which is to aim for roundups.

Bah... Baa-Ram-Ewe!

No 500 errors on my end. What instance was the account you were you trying to schedule from on, and what instance was the community you were trying to schedule a post to on?

Thanks, mate!
So, both the acct and destination community were hosted by Lemm.ee. It's one of the big-five or big-four instances (whatever) across the Lemmysphere, FWIW.

I suppose I could test this from FF (I'm on Chrome) if you think that might work, altho it did work fine in Chrome just a week ago. *shrug*

Every single time I have used the Lemmy Scheduler I did it from Safari or Firefox. I do not have a lemm.ee so I cannot test posting from there unfortunately. I'll try to post TO lemm.ee and edit this comment with my result

Gooottt iiiitttt!

Okay, when logging in again just now, I realised that last time I seemingly made the mistake of filling in the instance field with my community name, instead (i.e. !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee). So then-- seems to be working properly okay, now. :D

@rikudou@lemmings.world

If I may-- I would suggest that the service check to see if at the very least, the field entry for "Instance" looked like a proper URL. Even better I'd think would be to actually ping the entry, or something like that.

Because you know... careless idiots like me. ^^

Not just that, but I'd think it really useful to check that stuff right up front when a user logs in, including checking their ID & PW to see if it successfully logs in. Otherwise I suppose users are bound to see these "500" errors if they screw part of that up, I guess.

EDIT: Nah, even when I seem to schedule things, the tool just doesn't seem to work anymore in terms of known time-differences.
