Hi guys!

Postiz is an open-source social media scheduling tool. After much digging, I finally got Lemmy to work with Postiz.

And, of course, it's available in the open source! Let me know if it works for you!

And if you have suggestions for more Fediverses, I am happy to hear :)

Iso27002 fail.

  • docker kills validation, so we can't assure consistency as we're essentially dividing by plaid.
  • npm can't be run in prod due to inconsistency of upstream, and dev tools which are verboten in stage/prod.

Wait till you see how Lemmy and piefeed are installed. Its a security nightmare here on the fediverse.

[–] kat@orbi.camp 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

What do you mean? Also, since when is npm bad to use in production?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Lol since forever? It doesn't verify the authenticity of anything it downloads, so its vulnerable to supply chain attacks.

Pip and crates has the same problem.

Maven is the only programing language package manager I know of that does. Otherwise, OS package managers like apt are secure, od course.

[–] kat@orbi.camp 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sure but plenty of processes to make it workable exist. Companies like Microsoft, Netflix and parts of Google rely on NPM (firsthand experience at all these).

So it sounds kind of insane to say nom can't be used in production.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're exposing themselves to risk. Fortunately for them, they dont care about protecting the data of their customers.

[–] kat@orbi.camp 1 points 2 years ago

If you say so

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you support automated posting from RSS feeds?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

This, but with some aggregation and filtering.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Gross. It uses AI to publish bullshit.

Do not want.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That seems like an optional feature that competing products have.

I'd rather the fediverse friendly open source version have features I won't use, if it means it can continue to grow and compete with the proprietary ones

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

If amazon sold stolen credit cards or murder-for-hire, would you say "that seems like an options feature that I won't use"?

No, because things that are designed to cause harm shouldn't be tolerated. We have enough problems with misinformation here. Let's not encourage tools that make it worse.

[–] Bali@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not Gross because that feature is optional.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

Except it harms our ecosystem?

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

so does this mean post dumps can be spread out? If so I hope some mods use it as it would help for each post to be like once an hour rather than half a dozen all at once.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I usually post 3-4 posts at the same time to my communities because it's quick and easy. Not sure if setting up scheduled posts is worth it

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

depends on how concerned you are with the recievers. its nice when going through a feed to have topics spread out. at least to me. im much more likely to start just scrolling past more things when clumped together but if spread out then they get a bit more attention. That could just be me though.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a bug. We need dedupes in our feeds

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

sorry was not talking dupes just many posts like pictures of the same type or 6 news articles in a row or whatnot.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

This is especially true with the RSS feed communities

Also I don't think you're the only one. Often when I come across a clump like that, most of them are sitting at only a few upvotes while other posts in the community do much better.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How is that not a duplicate?

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well so you could have several cat pictures lets say but they are not of the same cat and its not doing the same thing or many various articles about trump. different things and actions. one about the trial another about greenland another about immigrants, etc. no direct duplicates just causes the feed to be streaky.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean if you dont want to see cat pics, ask mods to ban cat pics. I've never seen a cat pic in my Lemmy feed, but I do occasionally see pictures. I report them to mods for deletion.

sigh. im no sure why my initial thing is not clear. I was saying it would be great if posts from a community was spread out so that when going through your feed you see a greater vareity rather than seeing them clumped up. this is not about not wanting to see particular things. A cat community will have cat pictures. if I did not want to see them I could block the community from all. but I like cat pictures as much as the next person. pets are cute. if posts are put by one person all at the same time though then you get a bunch in a row as opposed to intersped between communities. So the tool from the original post seemed cool and I am hoping folks use them if so inclined. thats all.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Posting daily to the community is fine, starting to use an third party tool to schedule seems too much.

I'm lucky that usually I'm not the only poster in communities, so content gets there at other times as well

yeah don't misunderstand. its a nicety but beggars can't be choosey type of thing. Quality posts are a gift so I don't mean to quibble about the packaging :)

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Great news!

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

an open-source social media scheduling tool.

Pshaw! Didn't you read the tin? It's the ultimate open source social media scheduling tool.

[–] Ugurcan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Postiz is one of those open source projects that’s intentionally very hard to self host so youβ€˜re practically gravitate towards to use their own paid services.

I hope they give up on that business strategy sometime.

[–] labbbb2@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nowadays I don't like it if software "uses AI". When I hear "AI", I imagine that hype with fidget spinners and NFTs that we had, useless (for me) feature that will consume too much resources and take up more space, also AI's often proprietary and don't have their own open source code. It sounds like it's useless and a little bit childish. In fact, it also seems that it doesn't do anything helpful like automation, it's just generate text "out of nowhere" (as far as I know). So this is my frustration. But anyway, if it's open source, good, keep it up!
