App to schedule posts on Lemmy
schedule.lemmings.world
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!

How does it work? Can I trust this website?
I wouldn't trust a website that wants your username and password.
Use a bot account to post if you are worried
I would if it was a bot instead of an obscure service that collects my credentials.
How is that different from any other Lemmy client though?
With a mobile client, for example, you can check if it sends your password somewhere else, there are tools. If you use an open-source client then it's even easier. Major clients have something that you could call reputation, though I wouldn't put too much trust into it.
Here I know for a fact that my password goes to a third-party:
I don't store your password if that's what you're asking! I'm planning to make it open source once I make sure I didn't accidentally leave any production secrets in the code.
Anyway, here's how it works:
Hope it clarifies it, let me know if you don't understand any part of it!
Where's the job stored?
In a scheduling system. Probably bad wording on my part, sorry. I meant that it's not stored anywhere for just logging in, though it's stored as part of every scheduling job in the scheduling system.
