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!

    This is awesome! Could we use this to subscribe to a post to receive updates on edits and new comments?

      Not currently, but getting notifications for new comments might be nice. The edits are not really possible in any sane way, I would have to store every version to see if it changed. Or I would have to store the last time you visited. Neither of which I really want to do, the app doesn’t store any permanent data about its users, everything is always stored in the queued job only and then forgotten once the job runs.

    Probably needs a name change at this point, as it does more then schedule posts.

        Technically that’s true, but if i am interested in that feature and looking through awesome-lemmy and see the name lemmy schedule i might think it won’t have that feature and then won’t check it out.

          Ah, didn’t know it was there. Would you suggest any better description? I’ve currently changed it to “App for scheduling posts, pins/unpins and notifications about new content”, though I feel like it could be better.

            On second thought i don’t know if a name change is needed as this functionality will probably be added to lemmy natively and might make yours obsolete.

    I’ve used this tool from the developer’s instance. It works as intended. I haven’t tried the new release.

    I was skeptical that it would work to be honest. Particularly as I am a kbin user modding a kbin community. However, I was able to create an alt account on a lemmy instance and give the account mod status in the kbin community. So I use that account to post. I would be nice if kbin could be directly supported but I understand there are ongoing issues with the kbin API — lack-thereof. For time being, the workaround has been functional.

    Logging in to the interface now, I can’t see any of the previous scheduled posts I’ve made which did used to be visible. Maybe the new version is a breaking change from prior. Which is fine with me. This kind of thing will obviously have an experimental nature to it. I am hoping that going forward the previously-scheduled posts will be visible because it is convenient.

    My review is five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the application. Thank you @rikudou for building and sharing this very useful application.
