It seems simple to implement, and it might lead to more engagement (for the platforms that care about that).

Instead, people rely on third-party tools to accomplish scheduling on Reddit and Instagram. Why is that? Is there some issue I'm not considering?

scheduling

What do you mean by that?

Gmail has something similar, instead of the post going out when you click post you can set it to go live at a certain time

I know friends have used the third party schedulers when promoting events on Instagram, where the posts needed to go out at a certain time (ex. releasing tickets at a certain time for fairness). Others might want to post right around when people are likely to be looking at their phones.

There is also a similar service for Reddit, and now for Lemmy: https://schedule.lemmings.world , where mods can schedule reoccurring posts (ex. TV shows, weekly events)

Personally, I'd like to sit down and prep some posts, then have them go out slowly. Rather than all at once spamming people's feeds. schedule.lemmings.world works great, and I posted this to see if there's any reason to not integrate it into main Lemmy

If you have a business account/page on Meta, you can schedule posts for both facebook and instagram. I believe you can also schedule tweets., although not sure if you can do it on a personal/individual account. Those are limited to photos/videos/reels though, not events or something.

It's built-in on reddit, I've used it before. It might only be available on modposts, though.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
