      Interesting. Is this a third-party service to make scheduled posts on your behalf? Is it from your own account? If so, how do they manage security?

        That’s a plugin managed by @[email protected]

        I usually have mods account that I use for this. I trust the tool with those creds, worst case scenario the account gets compromised and I set up another one.

      Ugh… another tragically late reply, hah.

      So, how would such a thing appear to the users? Would it be like an auto-posting bot? Can you point me to a working example of such?

        The daily threads in [email protected] are created with those.

        The account isn’t labelled as a bot, we discussed it with the rest of the people in that community and they were okay with it not being labelled.

        We agreed that bots should be labeled when they repost a lot of content.

        Scheduled post feel more like a missing feature from Lemmy itself
