Postiz (v1.6.6) - open-source social media scheduling tool

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

https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/

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.

Ugh, "grow on social" is such a contradiction in terms, especially when using automation and strategic platforms. Growth as a commercial impetus is never social.

For one thing, no — a brand trying to sell you stuff isn't your friend, period. For another, this is such a tired 2010s tactic. Please let it lie.

Look, I'm glad there are FLOSS tools for influencers and brands. Let's make everything FLOSS on principle! What I do react against is turning social platforms into what are essentially advertisement channels.

I personally favour human interaction over nondescript, one-way signaling from (individual or corporate) brands trying to "grow" their presence on social media. But that's just me.

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

AI Features: Copilots, AI Auto-complete, Canva-like editor.

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.
- Mastodon is mentioned a little lower.

  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...
- Yup, Lemmy support would be nice to have.
Looks cool I'll check it out.
