My Lemmy Schedule app now includes the option to get notified of new posts in a specific community!

In case you haven't heard about the app before, here's what other things it can do:

  • schedule a post and post it to multiple communities
    • you can upload an image as well and choose between uploading to your Lemmy instance or to Imgur
  • create a recurring post that gets posted at a specific date and time (especially useful for daily/weekly/monthly/end-of-month threads)
  • schedule pinning and unpinning of posts (instance and community)
    • the pinning and unpinning can be specified as part of creating a post
  • the aforementioned notifications about unread posts from a specific community (useful for mods)
    • can be also set using a recurring schedule, so you can get the report daily/weekly/monthly etc.

To learn more, visit the !schedule@lemmings.world community.

P.S. It's open source and can be self-hosted using docker!

Please don’t do this. Automated posting? AI is bad enough as it is and there’s no way this won’t be abused and cause tons of spam.

It's been running for a while and as far as I know, no spam. You still have to write the post, the only thing that changes is that you can plan it.

Fair enough. Hopefully people don’t rig it up to where it can auto produce spam.

If they do, the account they use will get banned. Schedule is a great tool, I've been using it for a while, especially useful for daily threads
