Scheduled Posts

[tvanantwerp]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes I think of several unrelated things I'd like to post in quick succession. I don't want to overwhelm the feeds I might be on—people may find it annoying to see me post so much so quickly, and choose to mute or block me. I would like to space out my unrelated posts, but I don't trust myself to remember everything I wanted to say and to come back later to say it.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to schedule a post to be shared at a later date and time. When I still used Twitter, it had this feature and it solved this problem for me.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Remember to come back and post later.
  • As a person with ADHD, I'm highly likely to forget both what I wanted to post and to come back and post it later. Those post ideas will be lost like tears in the rain.
• Use a third party scheduling tool.
  • I'm not presently aware of one. Years ago, I would use Buffer to schedule posts across social media channels; but they do not appear to support Bluesky yet.
  • I'm not a social media manager or anything, so using a third party scheduler feels like overkill anyway. Just having a first party UI to do this would better UX for my problem.

Additional context

This is the UI that Twitter currently uses to schedule tweets. I no longer use Twitter, but this was a helpful feature for when that platform was good and worth using. I don't know if this UI is ideal for choosing datetimes, but it's illustrative of an effective solution to the problem.

I second this. I use this feature on X/Twitter all the time, and it's very handy. I'd love to see something similar come to Bluesky.

I also want this feature, I understand that Bluesky doesn't yet have a draft system (yet), but scheduling posts would go a long way in being able to help manage my accounts many posting without purchasing into social media coordinator subscription/software.

this is a very needed feature that is useful for Content creators who have launch dates and events that need to be announced. Will love to see it implemented
