App to schedule posts on Lemmy (schedule.lemmings.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by rikudou@lemmings.world to c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
 

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 is made using the app!

Edit: And it's open source!

I am not feeling comfortable entering my login credentials to this website.

Edit: I made this comment before OP shared the source code.

The creator of the tool is the admin of lemmings.world, and the tool is hosted at schedule.lemmings.world. So, if you have a user at lemmings.world, you can use this tool without having to trust a third-party.

If you don't have a user there, you can create a user in that instance for the purpose of creating scheduled posts. Removing the need to trust two parties rather than one.

And, of course, since the source code is open anyone else can attach this to their own instance! Pretty cool.

Fine with me, I'm not forcing anyone to use it.

Here's how it works if you're interested: https://a.lemmings.world/lemmings.world/comment/1083665

Thank you again, probably going to use it soon

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let me know if there are any problems!

Is the source open? How would we be able to trust you with our credentials?

It will be before the end of today (CEST), currently I'm checking whether I accidentally didn't commit any production secrets.

Edit: Done, source code is here: https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmySchedule

Very much appreciated!

Am I the only one who thinks it's funny how the name "Lemmy Schedule" sounds like "let me schedule"?

No, you are not :)

Nice, saving for later.
