How to schedule a first comment

In the composer, open the network tab and write the first comment in its box. It posts as a reply under your post right after publishing, or after a delay of 1 to 120 minutes where the network allows one. Each network shows its own length limit for the comment, such as 2,200 characters on Instagram.
