Being able to attach a date and time to a post and then have it appear on your calendar and perhaps also the calendars of your followers is quite useful for organizing things with minimum effort. Until such time as federated calendar functionality becomes more standardized this may only work between Epicyon instances. + +Calendar events are really just ordinary posts with a date, time and perhaps also a location attached to them. Posts with *Public* scope which have a date and time will appear on the calendars of your followers, unless they have opted out of receiving calendar events from you. + +*Reminder* is a special type of calendar post, which is really just a direct message to yourself in the future. + +To create a calendar post from the main timeline, select the **New post** icon, then use the dropdown menu to select the scope of your post. Give your event a description and add a date and time. If you add a location this can either be a description or a geolocation link, such as a link to [openstreetmap](https://openstreetmap.org). # Moderation ## Instance level moderation ## Moderator screen
