How to schedule posts (not topics)?

And there is a plugin Discourse Private Replies

Does that have a “reveal all” feature?

Wow.
Sounds like eureka.
This should be appropriate.
I’ll try to get it installed through my third party hosting service.
Much thanks.

In all these cases you can use the Automation plugin to schedule posts

With this option, only admins can then schedule posts, from my understanding. What if I want to have others be able to schedule posts (thinking our employees)?

our use case for something like this is to help facilitate conversations/reminders on topics about our events. We want to remind folks say 1 week, and then 1 day before the event via scheduled replies.

We would also use this to action a playbook that we have where we have set actions at particular times, for example, 1 month before the event, the event is created (can use regular scheduling for this). Then 1 week later, we introduce the presenter and source agenda topics/items for the event, so on & so forth…

Interested in this feature as well. My use-case is a bit different.

We use Discourse for work and as the team lead, I want to encourage people to have a healthy work life balance. However, there are times when I am ready to draft a reply for a topic on weekends/out of office hours, so I want to write it to get it out of the way, but schedule it to only get posted once work hours resume so people don’t get pressured to respond outside of office hours.

That’s a good point. I try to use bookmarks to remind me to reply later, but that just generates a long list of bookmarks.
