@FediTips I have mine set up to auto-delete posts after one year unless they are favorited 50+ times or if I bookmark them.

Good one. I will surely want to make use of it. -
As far as I know this isn't possible. The auto-deletion is based on choosing exceptions to the deletion rather than choosing specific posts to be deleted.
A workaround could be to reply to the posts you want to delete with reminderbot, then manually deleting them when you get the reminder. More info https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-reminder-bot-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse
I wouldn't rely on deletion to remove public stuff though, if it's a public post it may get archived somewhere. Setting it to followers-only is safer.
