Does scheduled posts work for anyone on Piefed? I've tried making a few scheduled posts and woke up this morning noticing that none of them posted.

I even tried setting the scheduled post's timezone to Europe/London since it looks like the server operates in UTC, but that didn't work either.

We will need to look into this. I remember we made some adjustments to the server timing, so that might be the cause.

In the meantime, I've scheduled a test post for this Saturday in case it offers any insight: https://piefed.ca/community/test@lemmy.ca

Hi :)

Scheduled posts should be working properly now. I was able to schedule out some posts, and they went out at the indicated times: @new_otters_raft@piefed.ca

Oh nice! Thank you for this! Out of simple curiosity, do you know why it wasn't working previously?

At least part of the problem was our setup (server cron), and we had some issues once we fixed that: https://piefed.ca/c/main/p/506991/sorry-for-the-post-spam#post_replies

Hopefully it should be working smoothly now :)
