Six networks, and the honest version of what each one does

Text on its own, up to four photos, a GIF, or a single video, with alt text. A long post can be written as a thread and the panel sends it in order.

X has no scheduling API for any client, so the panel holds the post and sends it at your minute. X also charges for every read of its API, so an admin sets a spending budget and the panel stops fetching before the budget runs out rather than after.

mentions, post metrics

Photos and video to a Page you manage, Reels, and Stories. A first comment can be posted as the Page immediately after the post lands, which is where the link usually belongs.

Facebook is the one network that will hold a scheduled post itself. When your time is inside the window Meta accepts, the panel hands the post over and Facebook publishes it; when it is not, the panel keeps it and fires at the minute.

A single photo or a carousel, a Reel, or a Story, to a professional account. First comments are supported here too.

Instagram has no scheduling API, so the panel fires at your minute. Meta also caps how many posts an account may publish through the API in a rolling day, and the panel reads that account's remaining allowance from Meta before it publishes rather than discovering the ceiling by hitting it.

A scheduled TikTok post is one video with a title. The panel supports both of TikTok's Content Posting modes, and which one an install uses is a setting rather than a guess:

• Post to profile. The video is published to the connected account at its scheduled minute, with the privacy level chosen in the composer, after the panel reads back what that account is actually allowed to do.
• Send as a draft. The video arrives in the account's TikTok inbox, and whoever runs the account finishes and posts it in the TikTok app.

Until TikTok's Content Posting audit has passed for an install, the panel holds itself to the second one and sends every video privately as a draft. TikTok exposes no API for reading comments, so nothing from TikTok arrives in the panel's inbox; what does come back is the account's follower, likes and video counts, and the link to the post once it exists.

The video is uploaded to your channel with the title, description, and tags from the post, then made public or left unlisted at the time you set. The upload starts ahead of the scheduled minute so that a large file is already in place when the moment arrives, rather than starting to transfer at it.

A vertical video up to three minutes is filed as a Short. While YouTube's API compliance audit is open for an install, uploads land private and wait for a person to publish them in YouTube Studio.

comments, views, likes, subscribers

The same post, with its files, to the channel your community already watches. Files too large to attach arrive as links instead, so the message is never silently incomplete.

Discord is also where a Story handoff lands: when a Story needs a link sticker or a poll, which no third-party tool may add, the panel posts the caption and the file here at the scheduled minute for whoever is on shift.
