I've made an app that makes it possible to schedule a post in Lemmy at an arbitrary time. It's available at https://schedule.lemmings.world and can be used by people from any instance.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. This post was made from the app!

Edit: And it's open source!

Do you have any use case for it ? I don't really see why I would want to delay an post (except for spam or so but I hope that's not the goal of the utility, lol).

Two use-cases that come to mind:

time optimization for posting - if you know your audience is active at a certain time, you can schedule your posts to get more engagement
weekly/daily posts scheduling (including support for pinning/unpinning posts for mods)
