I'm going to build a tool to automate social media posts, so i will need to save a lot of data regarding the posts of each user for each social they have connected to their account. Besides that i will need to have on my server a code that will call my database each minute and check if it should post something at that time ( since they are scheduled per request of the user )

A standard relational database will handle this perfectly fine. Postgres is versatile and will handle the use case.

To me this doesn't sound like highly relational data. I think a nosql document database would be fine. But the main question is where do you host or do you have a service provider? Because then the best is to use something your provider already has.
If AWS I would say use Dynamo DB.
If Google then I'd use firebase's document database.
If something like heroku, I'd use their mongoDB plugin.etc
