Schedule to any Mastodon instance, with content warnings and visibility built in, and a live link receipt that proves every toot went out. Bring your own server, write once, and never wonder if it published.
Short answer: A Mastodon scheduler queues your toots and posts them automatically at the time you pick. PostDodo schedules to any Mastodon instance over ActivityPub, supports content warnings and visibility, and returns a live link on every post so you have proof it published. Start free for 7 days, card required, no charge until day 8.
Most older schedulers ignore the fediverse or support one or two flagship instances and call it done. PostDodo is bring-your-own-instance: connect the server you actually live on, keep your content warnings and visibility intact, and get a real link back to every toot so you are never guessing.
You schedule a Mastodon post by connecting your instance, writing the toot, and picking a time. PostDodo publishes it through the Mastodon API and saves the live link as proof. Four steps:
Yes. PostDodo is bring-your-own-instance. If your server speaks the Mastodon API, you can schedule to it. Mastodon is decentralized over ActivityPub, which is the whole point and also why generic tools struggle with it. There is no single endpoint for “Mastodon” the way there is for a centralized network.
PostDodo handles that by talking to your instance directly. A self-hosted server or a small niche community works exactly the same as a giant one like mastodon.social. No curated allowlist, no waiting for us to add your server, no lock-in to a hand-picked list of big instances the way some tools do.
The fediverse-specific fields that matter, treated as first-class, not bolted on.
| Mastodon feature | PostDodo |
|---|---|
| Any instance (bring-your-own / self-hosted) | Yes |
| ActivityPub via Mastodon API | Yes |
| Content warnings (CW) | Yes |
| Visibility: public, unlisted, followers-only, direct | Yes |
| Images with alt text | Yes |
| Threads (self-reply chains) | Yes |
| Live link receipt + auto-retry on failure | Yes |
| Cross-post to other networks from one composer | Yes |
Three things make scheduling Mastodon here different from forcing it through a tool built only for the big centralized networks.
Bring your own server. mastodon.social, a niche community, or one you self-host. If it speaks the Mastodon API, PostDodo schedules to it. No curated allowlist, no waiting for us to add your instance.
Add a CW and set visibility (public, unlisted, followers-only, or direct) on every scheduled toot. Fediverse etiquette is respected because these are first-class fields, not a copy-paste hack.
Each toot comes back with a live link and a real publish confirmation. If a token expires or the API balks, we alert you and auto-retry instead of leaving it stuck in a silent queue.
The difference is instance freedom, fediverse fields, and flat pricing. Most legacy tools either skip Mastodon or support a short list of big instances. PostDodo lets you connect any server, set content warnings and visibility natively, and confirms every post with a live link.
Pricing is the other gap. Per-channel tools meter you for every account you add, so a multi-network presence gets expensive fast. PostDodo is one flat price: $25 to $99 a month by account count, not by how many networks you post to. Adding Mastodon next to your other channels never costs extra. The same logic runs the rest of the fediverse, like the Bluesky scheduler and the Threads scheduler.
Mastodon posts are flexible, and PostDodo supports the formats that matter for creators and small teams.
Standard posts up to your instance character limit (often 500, sometimes higher), with links that render as proper previews on the fediverse.
Attach images and write descriptive alt text, which the Mastodon community expects. Schedule the media and the caption together as one post.
Wrap sensitive or long content behind a content warning, and queue a self-reply chain so a thread posts in order without you babysitting it.
