Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool that is similar to traditional ones: Buffer, Hootsuite, SproutSocial, etc.

Postiz supports:

Key features:

Schedule for nine social media platforms (Threads, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Dribbble, YouTube, Instagram.)
Fundamental analytics for almost all social media platforms.
AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.
Team support: Invite your team members to manage social media.
Generic Email Provider & Easier installation experience (drop the default Resend and add a nodemailer option!)
There are lots of improvements for the docker / docker-compose. It's much easier to deploy everything!
Added Bluesky, Mastodon, Slack and Discord channels!
Add multiple options for upload files (locally / R2) - working on S3.
Improve the refresh token mechanism (even for more complicated ones like Facebook and Instagram)
Invite to a team has significant fixes but will be refactored.

What's next:

Postiz is a company run by one person and contributors. Accessing all the support tickets (especially installation) is difficult, so I will focus all my efforts on making installation easier.
Productivity - many things feel bad when posting, like selecting multiple images and pasting images directly into the editor.
Basic SSO for the self-hosters, and more advanced ones like Azure AD and Okta for the enterprise.
Public API (unfortunately, I decided to make this feature paid; I need to make money somehow :/ )
Tagging brands on Instagram
Segmenting accounts into customers
Tagging people on multiple platforms
Tagging posts for easier searches
Auto-plug features, like automatic repost / retweet.

Why no mention of Mastodon, and why is there no support for Lemmy/Kbin?

yeah, no thanks; putting out AI slop on social media is not the way forward.

But cool that there is now a opensource contender for social media mangement.

Here! But yeah, the lack of Lemmy is a bummer. I suppose that other services like Misskey are also supported via Mastodon support though.

I believe this is cathering more to business users. But I fully agree, AI is literally turning social media into dogshit. And the internet as well...
