# Schedule Mastodon Posts | Mastodon Scheduler | Genviral

Yes, on any Mastodon server. Enter your instance, for example mastodon.social, and authorize Genviral there. Then schedule text, images, and video, choose public, unlisted, or followers-only visibility, add a content warning, and mark media sensitive. Genviral reads your instance limits when you connect.

## How Mastodon scheduling works in Genviral

The fediverse rewards a steady, authentic presence. Here's how Genviral helps you plan posts, set visibility and content warnings, and keep your cadence across any instance.

- Connect Your Mastodon Account: Link your account on any Mastodon server in just a few clicks.
- Post & Schedule to Mastodon: Create posts, control how they appear, and publish now or schedule them ahead.

## What you can schedule to Mastodon

Text-only posts, images, and video, with alt text on media. One video per post. Enter your instance host, for example mastodon.social, and authorize Genviral on that server. Genviral registers its own OAuth client per instance, so any standard Mastodon server works.

- Visibility per post: public, unlisted, or followers-only.
- Content warning text up to 500 characters, plus a sensitive-media flag.
- Character and attachment limits are read from your instance when you connect. The fallback is 500 characters and 4 attachments.
- Connect accounts on different servers and run them from one workspace.
- Analytics: Mastodon is publish-only today, it is not in the Genviral analytics dashboard.

## What works the same on every platform

Genviral is one workspace for every connected platform: one composer, one calendar, and one media library. Bring your own files, or make them in Genviral with AI Studio, the slideshow editor, or bulk slideshow creation, then schedule the same content to several accounts at once. Scheduling and publishing are unlimited on every plan.

- Connect several accounts on the same platform and publish to all of them from one post.
- Edit, reschedule, or delete any scheduled post before it goes live.
- Team workspaces with role-based permissions and a shared media library, so nobody shares a social password.
- The same scheduling and publishing runs from an AI agent over MCP or the Partner REST API. See [/agents](https://www.genviral.io/agents).

## How does Mastodon scheduling work with Genviral?

Connect your Mastodon account, create your content, and choose when each post should go live. Genviral stores the schedule and publishes the post to your server at the right time, so you stay consistent without logging in to post manually.

## Does Genviral work with any Mastodon server?

Yes. Genviral connects to any standard Mastodon instance. Just enter your server (for example mastodon.social) when you connect, and we authenticate securely on that server and adapt to its limits automatically.

## Can I schedule images and videos on Mastodon?

Yes. You can schedule text posts, single or multiple images, and video. You can also add alt text to your media for accessibility, all within your server's media limits.

## Can I set visibility and content warnings?

Yes. For each post you can choose public, unlisted, or followers-only visibility, add a content warning or spoiler text, and mark media as sensitive before it publishes.

## Does Genviral respect my server's character limit?

Yes. Mastodon servers can set their own character and media limits. Genviral reads your instance's limits when you connect and keeps your scheduled posts within them so they publish cleanly.

## Can I connect multiple Mastodon accounts?

Yes. You can connect multiple Mastodon accounts across different servers and manage them from a single workspace, which is useful for creators, communities, and agencies.

## Can I post to Mastodon and my other channels together?

Yes. Genviral manages Mastodon alongside TikTok, Instagram, X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more from one workspace, so you can plan and schedule the same content across the fediverse and your traditional channels without copying and pasting between tools.

## Why use a scheduler for Mastodon?

Mastodon rewards a steady, authentic presence rather than algorithm chasing: timelines are chronological and there are no ads. A scheduler lets you plan ahead, keep a consistent cadence, and own your audience on the open social web instead of logging in to post by hand every day.
