It can mean that.  I think that meaning is more often used in British
English than here in America.

It can also mean to attach a message to a physical cork bulletin board,
wall, fencepost, telephone pole, etc., such as "I posted a for sale flyer
on the break room bulletin board" or "I posted the lost pet flyers to
several phone poles in the neighborhood."
