How to schedule posts to Pixelfed

Pixelfed has no built-in scheduler, so every scheduled post goes through a third-party tool. Here's how, and which tools do it best.

Does Pixelfed have native scheduling?

Pixelfed (the open-source Instagram alternative) has no native scheduler in most instances; the Fediverse API allows it, so scheduling depends on a third-party tool that supports Pixelfed.

The short version: There's no native option at all, so you'll need a third-party scheduler that supports Pixelfed.
