I asked this last time you posted here, but apparently you're more interested in self-promotion than actually being part of a community:
How does “AI post scheduling” differ from just "post scheduling"? Why is this something that needs AI at all?

Not sure how much this project does Insights, but that would be a valid reason: for AI to better assess when followers engage with the content in order to optimize publishing times.
Ah. So they're not just self-promoing, they're self-promoing some corporate slop. Nice.
Who would ever use a social media tool like this if they’re no interested in “corporate slop”?
Bloggers, writers, indie shop owners, event organizers 🤷 There are plenty of reasons to want to schedule posts without wanting to play into "engagement metrics".
You do know why they schedule posts? Because of more engagement 😀
I've run fanfic exchanges and other similar events. I scheduled posts so I could make sure they went up at a specific time.
Is this post using bots for upvotes ?
Maybe?
Or maybe people are just blindly upvoting
I upvoted because I'm generally excited by the idea of software that lets you interact with different social media via one interface. Idk if the project itself is good but it seems like a neat idea.
Why bots? Maybe people are genuinely interested in this software.
Yes, I don't think im required to express my interest that way haha
not trashing the software itself (haven't tried it), this post and their github repo just felt weird
I won't use it myself but developing any Open Source Software is more than deserving of one click of mine.
Also IIRC instance admins can see who upvotes so @ a lemmy.world admin if you think it's actually bots (I doubt its bots personally)
Hey super cool that you're offering a self hosted version
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.
Thank you so much for doing this !
I'm actually interested in installing Coolify and trying Postiz, I might go for the hosted cloud plan for work stuff. I pay for a lot of free software, I appreciate the pro support but I like to know that if you make bad decisions like going closed source or rising the price by %500, I can still operate self hosted until I switch to an alternative or a fork. This hasn't happened with anything I pay for yet, but it has happened to software I don't use. So I like to be safe and have a plan B just in case.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
