Step 5: Enhance Productivity with the Chrome Extension

Step 7: Fix Common Deployment Issues

Quick Tips (Optional)

  • Want to automate Reddit or RSS posting? Use Postiz’s RSS-to-social autoposter.
  • Prefer video help? Check their documentation with YouTube videos on setting up different providers.

Important Notes

  • :locked_with_key: Security Fix: In earlier versions, enabling OIDC while registration was disabled caused issues—now fixed in v1.48.1.
  • :pushpin: The FOSS and paid versions are identical. You only need the cloud version if you prefer hosted solutions.
  • :prohibited: Meta (Facebook/Instagram) currently does not penalize 3rd-party schedulers.
  • :warning: Reddit scheduling is limited—no conversation support, only post scheduling.
  • :hammer_and_wrench: Some platforms like Facebook may require app approvals to support link-style posts properly.
