How to schedule Mastodon posts
By the Repping.AI team · Updated June 2026
To schedule a Mastodon post (toot), connect your account on any instance, write the post, set its visibility and any content warning, and pick the time. Repping.AI publishes it automatically through the Mastodon API, so you can stay active across the fediverse on a planned cadence without posting by hand.
How to schedule Mastodon posts
- 1Connect your Mastodon account (any instance) to Repping.AI.
- 2Write your toot and attach any media.
- 3Set the visibility and add a content warning if you need one.
- 4Pick the date and time on the calendar.
- 5Click schedule — Repping.AI auto-publishes the toot at that time.
Tips for scheduling Mastodon posts
Use content warnings where the culture expects them
Many Mastodon communities expect content warnings for spoilers, politics, or sensitive topics. Set the CW field when you schedule to stay in good standing.
Pick the right visibility per post
Choose Public, Unlisted, or Followers-only deliberately. Marketing reach wants Public; quieter updates may suit Unlisted so they skip the federated timeline.
Add image descriptions
Like Bluesky, the Mastodon community values accessible media. Describe your images so your toots are inclusive and well received.
Frequently asked questions
Can I schedule Mastodon posts for free?
Yes. You can schedule Mastodon posts on Repping.AI's free trial, and paid plans use fair usage-based pricing you can pause anytime, with no per-channel fee.
Does it auto-publish or just send a reminder?
It auto-publishes. Toots go live on their own at the scheduled minute through the Mastodon API — no manual step and no reminder.
Does it work with my Mastodon instance?
Yes. Mastodon is federated, so Repping.AI connects to your account on whichever instance you use and publishes there automatically.
Can I set content warnings and visibility?
Yes. Choose the post's visibility and add a content warning in the composer before scheduling — both are applied when the toot publishes.
Can I cross-post to Bluesky and X?
Yes. Mastodon shares short-form formats with those networks, so you can queue the same post to all of them from one composer.
