I don't think it is necessary to fill in every day of the week with fixed posts, but we should stick to the ones we have already set up on a regular basis.

Currently, we are posting about Akademy on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Can we try to do once a week a small tweet/toot about a KDE application that aren't popular yet? This could be a nice way to promote them and quite fitting with the All about the Apps goal. I wouldn't add a precise schedule and only do those posts on days there we have nothing else to say.

This is an absolutely brilliant idea. We can start a list like we did with the tips and gradually make our way through it... Something like "Discover KDE's lesser known projects. This week: X ..."

Yes this was the idea, I will create a subtask :)

It would help a lot to just get an account on sodash or hootsuite or similar so that posts can be scheduled ahead of time and coordinated

Yeah, that would save a lot of time.

I think the problem has been that we have not found a service that covers all the social media outlets we post to. They often miss out Mastodon, Reddit, Hacker News, etc. It's like: "We still have to post manually to X, y and Z. Might as well post manually to all places". It may have changed, though.Time to check them out again, I guess.

I also think it would be a good idea to have a sort of timetable for each month with all our planing on that we want to post for each day. It will be easier to coordinate and it doesn't need to be fancy. As a try, I started for this month https://share.kde.org/f/1925165
