'Posting' is an English loanword (Anglicism). In German, it is used for an online post in the same way as in English.

message / news
'die Nachricht' and 'das Posting' can both be a written message. 'Nachricht' is more general and can be private, for example by phone or email. 'Posting' is used for something that is published on the internet, especially on social media, blogs, or forums. The words can be confused because a posting can also be a kind of message. The important difference is: A 'Nachricht' often goes to a specific person, while a 'Posting' is usually public or visible to a group.
