Scheduled posts available via federation

[carbontwelve]

Describe the bug

I just noticed on 0.8.1 that when I schedule posts with dates in the future that they become available via federation immediately.

Steps to reproduce (if necessary)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new draft post and give it a created date in the future
2. Move post from drafts to a public blog
3. Note that viewing the blog while logged in shows it as being Scheduled
4. Note that viewing the blog while logged out doesn't show the post
5. Using Pleroma/Mastodon lookup the blogs federated address
6. Notice the scheduled post appears in the post listing from Pleroma/Mastodon with its created date showing correctly

Expected behavior

I would expect that a post with status scheduled would not be published via federation until after its created date. If it's not visible from the blogs url when logged out it shouldn't be visible via federation.

Application configuration

• https://wordsmith.social/carbontwelve
• Multi-user mode
• Database mysql
• Open registration? yes
• Federation enabled? yes

Thanks for the report, I was able to replicate this as well. Looking into the cause now -- probably some missing logic.

Beyond just not publishing to the fediverse in this case, to get the full scheduling functionality, we'll also need to add some kind of mechanism that regularly checks for scheduled posts and federates them out. That'll be part of a larger undertaking we're tracking here: https://writefreely.org/tasks/567

@thebaer nice one.
