Draft & Schedule Posts for Later

One feature that is currently missing on PixelFed (and something I wish they had) is the capability to compose a post as a draft and schedule it for later publication.

Somewhat related —

Mastodon has an HTTP-based APIs for scheduled posts.

docs.joinmastodon.org/…/scheduled_statuses/

It doesn’t seem to be used in the offical Mastodon UI.

But many 3rd party Mastodon apps makes use of it. (For example, Tusky.)

scheduled_statuses API methods - Mastodon documentation

Manage statuses that were scheduled to be published at a future date.

According to this, Pixelfed post scheduling was supposed to have been added to version 0.11.2 of Pixelfed:

mastodon.social/@pixelfed/107174690236616545

I have a Pixelfed server running Pixelfed version 0.11.4, and — I am not noticing a way to schedule posts.

I wonder if the feature actually made it into the v0.11.2 release of Pixelfed — or if it was deferred to a later future release.
