Hi everyone, it's been a while :)
Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool that offers scheduling on the following:
Instagram, YouTube, Dribbble, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, X, Slack, Discord, Mastodon and BlueSky.

There's been tons of interest in Postiz. It's super exciting but also challenging—around 5-10 tickets per day (without a support team 😿), mainly coming from Portainer, Coolify, and Unraid—and I still haven't figured out how to solve it.
I need to balance shipping and customer support.
Tons of new features since the latest release:
- Option to add stories to Instagram and tag people for collaboration.
- Customer separation - you can group accounts per customer, and when you schedule, you can filter by customer.
- Option to tag companies on LinkedIn (I wanted to tag people also, but it was not possible)
- Fixes for different social media posts failing.
- Introducing Plugs! This is a concept you can find in other tools that can boost your engagement for your current posts. Here are some examples:
- Once your post reaches X amount of likes, repost it (to regain visibility to it)
- Once your post reaches X amount of likes, add another message to it (all your existing commenters will get a notification)
What's next:
- Public API - I have been too lazy to make it, I have to push more :)
- One Inbox - so you can reply to all your messages from one place.
- Google My Business provider
- AI Agents - I am still trying to figure out what to do with it, but it looks interesting.
Special thanks to this community that supports me with every post ❤️
Any star to the repo is a blessing ⭐️
** Fediverse networks will come soon :)
Hah, I installed Postiz just yesterday, interesting to see this thread. It's like buffer or one of the other paid tools to schedule your social media posts and track engagement. Of course, of particular interest to our community, Postiz is self hosted.
It doesn't have as many features yet as the major SaaS businesses, but the software is looking good and quite usable right now. I'm sure the more people who use it and support the developer, the more this tool can grow.
For example you can plug in your OpenAI API key and get an LLM chat interface inside the software while writing social posts. But I don't think it learns your style or creates posts using any kind of system prompt yet unless you type it in each time.
Another thing I couldn't figure out so far is how to limit which social media channels individual users can see. For example my business has several different units and there's a different marketing team on each unit, so they shouldn't be able to post into other channels.
If you're in the business of needing to post regularly on a lot of channels I think postiz is worth checking out.
