I hate to be the Friendica-spammer but at times is good to let people know that Friendica is so feature-rich that it even allows to repost automatically from any RSS or federated source. Plus you can schedule posts. And follow any RSS feed...And a ton more. 😁 - Oh and it works with Mastodon's API so any app that works with Mastodon, also works with Friendica...

It is such an underrated social platform....

You can also use mine if you want https://social.trom.tf - I already have all of these features integrated + custom themes I made. ;)
