heres what you do:

First, download if you havent

(AppImage appears by default to me because im a Linux user tee hee ^3^)

once you start the program, itll probably look like this:

personal recommendation: go to settings and turn Help Advertise Postybirb OFF

itll add a link to their website on every single post you make (on websites that allow link tags)

The options go as follows:

Accounts: this is where you log into your various accounts. You can have multiple accounts for one website!

For some websites you'll have to log in, and thats it. Others (Iike bsky) have different protocols. It depends on what you use.

App notifications: it states your posting status -- if something goes right or wrong,

Submissions: this is the part youll use the most. It includes two type of posts.

File (multimedia)

Notification (text only)

Before guiding you through posting a random drawing, theres also templates, which include:

Description; the body of your post

Shortcuts; makes custom shortcuts.

Tag converters; for websites that dont allow empty spaces in tags

Tag groups; custom saved tags.

Submission; general submission template.

Now, how to post?

When you click on File, you'll see this menu.

You can drag a picture, or click on it to open your folders.

I cannot post it yet, first I have to edit it. So i click edit.

I'll explain what these things do;

Thumbnail: for websites such as Newgrounds that use them.

Alt text: self-explanatory, inserts alt text.

Schedule: you can schedule the posts for later! PostyBirb MUST be running for when you scheduled though.

Now for the default settings:

before i even think of clicking post, i need to establish its rating and where do i want to post.

Anyways; these settings include:

Title of the post, by default it goes to the name of the file. You can change it if you want to,

Rating: these are general.

Content Warning: for websites that have cw option.

Tags; self explanatory.

Description.

Websites; where you'll post and with which accounts.

After you select which websites you want to post, you can edit for those specifically.

Example with Bsky to make sure the title and tags are posted, with the default shortcuts:

If you hover over the shortcuts option, you can read them all, so no need to remember them, necessarily

Now, you can post now, or schedule. If you schedule, it'll appear in the menu:

when its time for it to post, itll go to the posting menu

and after its posted, youll get a notification, and itll go to the logs. doesnt matter if it fails or not
