If people are manage hobby communities, I really suggest to have planned weekly threads where people can share their progress. Might be less scary to beginners.

You can use https://schedule.lemmings.world/auth/login

Interesting. Is this a third-party service to make scheduled posts on your behalf? Is it from your own account? If so, how do they manage security?

That's a plugin managed by @rikudou@lemmings.world

I usually have mods account that I use for this. I trust the tool with those creds, worst case scenario the account gets compromised and I set up another one.

Ugh... another tragically late reply, hah.

So, how would such a thing appear to the users? Would it be like an auto-posting bot? Can you point me to a working example of such?

The daily threads in !forumlibre@jlai.lu are created with those.

The account isn't labelled as a bot, we discussed it with the rest of the people in that community and they were okay with it not being labelled.

We agreed that bots should be labeled when they repost a lot of content.

Scheduled post feel more like a missing feature from Lemmy itself
