.....
There are several case of divides, such as !moviesandtv@lemmy.film and @movies@lemmy.world
I can see the genuine need to post to several communities at once
....
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.
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.
Probably needs a name change at this point, as it does more then schedule posts.
Well, it still schedules stuff.
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.
