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 :)

I asked this last time you posted here, but apparently you're more interested in self-promotion than actually being part of a community:

How does “AI post scheduling” differ from just "post scheduling"? Why is this something that needs AI at all?

Not sure how much this project does Insights, but that would be a valid reason: for AI to better assess when followers engage with the content in order to optimize publishing times.

Ah. So they're not just self-promoing, they're self-promoing some corporate slop. Nice.

Who would ever use a social media tool like this if they’re no interested in “corporate slop”?

Bloggers, writers, indie shop owners, event organizers 🤷 There are plenty of reasons to want to schedule posts without wanting to play into "engagement metrics".

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

You do know why they schedule posts? Because of more engagement 😀

I've run fanfic exchanges and other similar events. I scheduled posts so I could make sure they went up at a specific time.
