Schedule posts to Lemmy with LazyRelay

LazyRelay schedules posts to a Lemmy community on your own server, then checks that the post is visible to people who are not logged in. LazyRelay's difference is Proof-of-Publish: after a post goes out, it checks Lemmy again to confirm the post is really live.

What you can post to Lemmy

Title and body: the first line of your post is the title, up to 200 characters, unless you set a title under Platform options. The rest is the body, written in markdown, up to 10000 characters (LazyRelay's own cap).
Text-only posts are accepted.
Images: JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, up to 20 MB each. An image is uploaded to your Lemmy server, and each server sets its own upload limit.
Video: not supported.
Several files in one post: up to 10 images (no video in a multi-image post).
Community: each post goes to one community, written as name or name@server. Under Platform options you can set it per post, unless you saved a default when connecting.
Link post: you can share an https link.
NSFW flag: you can mark a post as NSFW.

LazyRelay checks file size and format before a post is scheduled and tells you which limit was hit. For the full comparison of what each platform supports, see What Works on Which Platform.

How to connect Lemmy

In Lemmy open Settings, then Profile, and tick Bot account. Lemmy expects automated posts to come from an account marked as a bot.
In LazyRelay, open the Social Platforms tab and click the Lemmy tile.
Enter your Lemmy server (for example lemmy.world), your username and your password. Add your two-factor code only if you use one.
Optionally enter a default community, for example [email protected].
Click Connect. LazyRelay keeps a login token, not your password.

How Proof-of-Publish works on Lemmy

LazyRelay reads the post back from your server with your account, refuses a post that is removed or deleted, then repeats the read with no login to see what a stranger sees. It also requests the post's public page and requires a successful answer. The page alone would prove little, because Lemmy's web app can answer successfully for any post number. If a moderator removes your post, LazyRelay reports it as not live.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Lemmy ask me to tick Bot account?

Lemmy expects automated posts to come from an account marked as a bot. Tick it under Settings, then Profile before you connect.

Does LazyRelay store my Lemmy password?

No. LazyRelay keeps a login token, not your password.

What happens if a moderator removes my Lemmy post?

LazyRelay's check reads the post back and reports a removed post as not live, instead of leaving it marked as published.

Can I post to any Lemmy community?

You post to one community at a time, written as name or name@server, on the server you connected. Each community has its own rules.
