Mastodon has code for scheduling posts, but it's not in the default Mastodon user interface as an intentional choice.
If you'd like the ability to schedule posts ahead without using a third-party service, please add your 
and maybe a comment to this feature request on the Mastodon official issue list on Github:
I'm migrating the Gender Census account from @gendercensus@lgbt.io to @gendercensus@fediverse.gendercensus.com and I have to say, it is going much smoother than last time I tried to migrate accounts on Mastodon. :)
Nice one, developers!
I know PixelFed exists but it's all just text and video and images at the end of the day - so what if the Mastodon interface just looked like Instagram and then you could sign in using your existing Mastodon account... a concept:
This is just hacked together real quick, but should I work on this to make it a real thing?
@Yuvalne Question: Determine the media attachment file storage size held on a server for each account on Mastodon instance.
Mastodon Admin >Accounts pages clearly show what the media attachment storage size is for each account. Whether that is dynamically pulled when you view an account or is saved in the database periodically, I am not sure.
I ran "runuser -l mastodon -c 'cd ~ && pg_dump --column-inserts --table=accounts mastodon_production > accounts2.sql'" and it came back with a listing of accounts with this information as a text sql file for each account. I didn't see Media_attatchment file sizes in that info.
Maybe there is a pg_dump recipe that would return the "Media Attachment" info from the Admin>Account pages if it is saved in the database. I can't figure out what field that would be in the database schema. It's early, still, though, and I just brushed over the schema.
Tagging #mastodon #MastoAdmin #data #MastoDev in case someone is familiar with it.
Info it returned:
id, username, domain, private_key, public_key, created_at, updated_at, note, display_name, uri, url, avatar_file_name, avatar_content_type, avatar_file_size, avatar_updated_at, header_file_name, header_content_type, header_file_size, header_updated_at, avatar_remote_url, locked, header_remote_url, last_webfingered_at, inbox_url, outbox_url, shared_inbox_url, followers_url, protocol, memorial, moved_to_account_id, featured_collection_url, fields, actor_type, discoverable, also_known_as, silenced_at, suspended_at, hide_collections, avatar_storage_schema_version, header_storage_schema_version, devices_url, suspension_origin, sensitized_at, trendable, reviewed_at, requested_review_at, indexable

another day in the emoji mines well spent!
Not sure if this will break down immediately (it probably will), but if it managed to work for a bit, then please enjoy this slightly silly embed (open in your instances web interface)
Interesting https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/35584
The other states combined into a single "Post unavailable" copy 
In general I try not to swear so much these days, but...
... why the FUCK is this set to "Everyone" by default?
@festal @katzenberger @Gargron It should be possible to not allow #quotePosts at all, and it should be the default behaviour with allowing quote posts being #optIn.
It's what he promised. It's what he should deliver. And while he has a proven history of ignoring even the best supported change requests in the Mastodon Github, it should be the top issue until it is fixed.
woot, my emoji rendering system seems to be working okay! loaded it onto my dev server and thankfully i follow a lot of trans people who love lots of emoji in their profiles 
cannot WAIT to get to the picker tho. hiding custom emoji groups is what i dream of 
Магчыма, ШІ ужо піша код. Але ці піша ён добры код?
Я правёў некалькі дзён у “вайбкодынгу” з Bolt, Copilot і Cursor. Быў захоплены, расчараваны — і зноў натхнёны. Токены скончыліся. Але вынікі — ёсць.

One annoying thing about the search function on Mastodon is it's occasional nature.
Currently I once again can't find stuff from:me or in:library more recent than last year. This is an issue that's popped up before.
"just go on github and create an issue"? No thanks. I don't like jumping through unnecessary and unaccessible* hoops. So this is grumbling into the void.

* I wrote what I wrote and you understand what it means.
After implementing partial support for Mastodon's FEP-044f quote post authorization in #Smithereen, I realized that this flow with sending a "*Request" activity and receiving a corresponding Accept{*Request} is nothing but an RPC mechanism.
So now Smithereen also uses TopicCreationRequest and TopicRenameRequest for discussion boards in groups, which are almost finished, btw.
one of these days i need to debug scroll smoothness on mobile web
mastodon should have eki stamps. any time you have a good interaction with someone from an instance you should be able to ask them to stamp your book.
Auch ganz cool:
Die Organisatoren bieten eine API an, mit der die Entwickler von Fediverse-Apps/Clients die Info zum Event in ihre UI einbinden können:
