I’ve made an open source tool for scheduling posts to Lemmy, you can find it at https://schedule.lemmings.world. It can be used by users from any instance!

You can also schedule pinning and unpinning of posts from a community if you’re the moderator, making it possible to schedule for example weekly/daily threads as well as their pinning and unpinning.

Another great feature is the possibility to select multiple communities to post into.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. This post was created using the tool!

    Because Lemmy doesn’t support OAuth and this is actually the only way to do it. Hopefully only temporarily. Edit: The thing’s open source, you can check that I don’t do anything with the password, I only use it once to login to the api and get the token, pretty much the same as I would do with OAuth.

      My bad indeed, I thought Lemmy supported OAuth but I was confused with Mastodon. Hopefully someone contributes a OAuth/OIDC solution soon.

        They didn’t. They sent you a code and if the code matched, they assumed it’s you. I need the user’s JWT token to post as them. And that’s currently impossible without password.

          Ahh good point, forgot you would need their token. Yeah there’s no way to do this securely then :(
