Add setting to delay posting

[simonfrey]

From WP Forum:

Hello,

Is it possible to set a few days delay between the blog post’s publication and the matching Mastodon auto-post?

In our use case, we often need to fix a post after it’s been published. Eg, someone publishes, and the day after, another editor fixes typos, featured images, etc. So before we tell everyone we posted something, we’d rather have the time to clean it up. (And at the same time, there’s not always someone available to review the drafts before they’re published, so we’d rather publish an “unclean” post than no post at all.)

For RSS feeds, I was able to delay publication (like this: https://www.isitwp.com/delay-rss-feed/, in functions.php). But does your plugin use RSS to check on new posts?

Thank you!

I assume this could be done in about 6h of work and has medium complexity. The setting part is easy, but there needs to be a mechanism to execute the posting in the future.
