Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi everyone, it's been a while :)

Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool that offers scheduling on the following:

Instagram, YouTube, Dribbble, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, X, Slack, Discord, Mastodon and BlueSky.

https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app

There's been tons of interest in Postiz. It's super exciting but also challenging—around 5-10 tickets per day (without a support team 😿), mainly coming from Portainer, Coolify, and Unraid—and I still haven't figured out how to solve it.

I need to balance shipping and customer support.

Tons of new features since the latest release:

  • Option to add stories to Instagram and tag people for collaboration.
  • Customer separation - you can group accounts per customer, and when you schedule, you can filter by customer.
  • Option to tag companies on LinkedIn (I wanted to tag people also, but it was not possible)
  • Fixes for different social media posts failing.
  • Introducing Plugs! This is a concept you can find in other tools that can boost your engagement for your current posts. Here are some examples:
    • Once your post reaches X amount of likes, repost it (to regain visibility to it)
    • Once your post reaches X amount of likes, add another message to it (all your existing commenters will get a notification)

What's next:

  • Public API - I have been too lazy to make it, I have to push more :)
  • One Inbox - so you can reply to all your messages from one place.
  • Google My Business provider
  • AI Agents - I am still trying to figure out what to do with it, but it looks interesting.

Special thanks to this community that supports me with every post ❤️

Any star to the repo is a blessing ⭐️

** Fediverse networks will come soon :)

Is this post using bots for upvotes ?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe?

Or maybe people are just blindly upvoting

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

I upvoted because I'm generally excited by the idea of software that lets you interact with different social media via one interface. Idk if the project itself is good but it seems like a neat idea.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why bots? Maybe people are genuinely interested in this software.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, I don't think im required to express my interest that way haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

not trashing the software itself (haven't tried it), this post and their github repo just felt weird

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I won't use it myself but developing any Open Source Software is more than deserving of one click of mine.

Also IIRC instance admins can see who upvotes so @ a lemmy.world admin if you think it's actually bots (I doubt its bots personally)
