Usage

The social media sense of "postar" is extremely common in modern Brazilian Portuguese and is an anglicism from "to post." The military/security sense (to station) is more formal and less frequent in everyday conversation. Common collocations: postar no Facebook/Instagram, postar uma foto/vídeo.
