FWIW, I freaked out once over something relatively minor across the Lemmy-modality, and the dev (one of the two, can’t remember which) was just a calm, gem of a person upon my temporary paranoia.
Man, I was… blown away.
(thought I was going to be banned to hell, yadda-yadda)
Pardon the late reply, and wow, sounds interesting. As well as hugely practical. oO
Thanks for the extensive reply!
I wish I could say I understood this ‘bot’ stuff better. For example, it seems some instances allow the creation and auto-administration of bot accounts, but I don’t think mine does (lemm.ee). It sounds like for other instances, though, that’s something of a feature.
To be clear-- the goal for my community would be to have a scheduled bot drip daily or semi-daily content, freeing me up to work on longer-form pieces.
There was in fact a 3rd-party tool that worked exactly that way for a while, but it seems it eventually broke due to a key update by the Lemmy software.
it includes Mastodon/Sharkey posts using linked hashtags
Oh wow, may I ask how that works, Blaze?
Since we don’t have a functional posting bot to drip content these days, it would surely be nice if I could get content from adjacent platforms to auto-post on a regular basis to our community.
It started with 55 default sub’s from Lemmy-federate bots
Huh!
So… how does that work, if I might ask?
You can start a community and somehow assign dozens of bots to it, instantly pumping up the numbers, so to speak…?
Oh rabbits-- you know something– I will always try to do my best, for BLAZE.
Yōsh!
Now let’s see if they can do songs in Castellano / français, next…
Hi, Sergio. Suno.com doesn’t seem to officially have goth yet, so I just took a guess and chose styles: “metal,” “male voice with hoarseness,” “minor chords” and still tried to force “goth.”
See if this song-link works:

Oh, and I loved how they handled the tag “(unearthly shrieking)” LOL.
Sort of like a deluxe, Peruvian version of Scottish cottage pie, no?
And… gotta love those thinly-sliced red onions (and for me, habanero slices) soaked in lime juice in the fridge, overnight. I used to use them as a topping on all kinds of meals before my stomach finally gave out, lol.
Traditional versions also contain ~50% butter by total pre-cooking weight. (Hello heart-health my old friend…)
Dunno about your area, but there’s some pretty awesome frozen puff pastry sold in thin-ish sheets at most stores around here. It bakes up quick and almost magically multi-layered, and I would not for a million years be able to tell it from scratch puff pastry from une belle boulangerie.
This was already touched on earlier, but I wanted to add on a bit:
The idea comes from how Reddit handles it (MultiReddits) but from my experience it’s a feature not many people made use of, and it sounds like a pain to have to constantly create and manage new multi-communities to group together duplicate communities. This shouldn’t be a task that users have to manually do.
This is a pretty bad or maybe just naive take that IMO doesn’t sum things in a productive way upon Multi-Reddits. That is-- 1) it arguably doesn’t matter a bit how many people make use of it, as each person’s MR is going to be a custom affair, and it works at the individual user level anyway, 2) on the contrary, it’s no trouble at all to build your MR’s either quickly or painstakingly, and you can spread that effort across weeks, months and even years. In the end, I find MR’s fantastically useful as super-custom feeds that you can use to stay focused on a tight range of topics.
Unfortunately, these kinds of half-baked conclusions tend to suggest to me that OP doesn’t have a whole lot of familiarity with either platform at this time. That said, there’s a lot of interesting ideas in the article, it’s just a little disappointing in various places.
This is a myth. You actually don’t.
No, I think that’s what OP’s question is all about-- more than ever, many/most people DO need to stay informed to a baseline extent. That’s because laws, policy and legal interpretation are changing hard and fast in the USA for example, and citizens who aren’t informed can be critically blindsided. That may result in their jobs suddenly vanishing for no good reason, discrimination being ratcheted up against them, their rights suddenly eroding (as we saw in the wake of Roe vs. Wade being revoked), and/or they’re now facing deportation or being held in a facility ‘just because.’ Or for example, many people depend on Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA and/or SSI to stay afloat, and those are all going to be cut down, evidently. So certainly, you’d want to be as prepared as possible for stuff like the above, while still retaining a healthy mindset.
Or for example, if you were in Great Britain and weren’t paying attention to the Brexit background, you may have been part of (and directly affected by), the voting disaster enabling the plan to go through.
Gonna take a detour here and mention the time that I tried to make tofu from scratch, starting with making soy milk from dried beans that I’d ordered just for the task:
The soy milk turned out surprisingly well, with the help of a semi-automated device, but I realised on the spot that most commercial soy milk has a tonne of sugar added to it, and I didn’t want to go down that route. In fact, it just about turned me off of soy milk permanently.
Anyway, I moved on to the tofu-making stage, and realised that both coagulants I tested (lemon juice and nigari powder) imparted a huge, unwanted taste to the tofu, on top of neither being all that great at coagulating the soy milk. In the end, I think I could have improved on this cooking disaster, but my motivation was gone at that point, and I wanted to move on.
There’s also the fact that no matter what a versatile food tofu is, it’s also a significantly processed one, and I wanted to move in the opposite direction. That said, I understand that fresh-made tofu in Japan and other places can be incredibly tasty, almost worth wolfing down straight with no cooking or spices.
Well… it doesn’t sound like there’s much choice.
Expert doctors expressing that there’s no ‘super procedure’ for Joel at this point, combined with PG playing underwhelmingly, combined with their rookie hotshot already going down for the season, combined with the team going nowhere all season, anyway.
Not saying you’re right or wrong, but these types of events only happen occasionally, mais non?
Gooottt iiiitttt!
Okay, when logging in again just now, I realised that last time I seemingly made the mistake of filling in the instance field with my community name, instead (i.e. !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee). So then-- seems to be working properly okay, now. :D
If I may-- I would suggest that the service check to see if at the very least, the field entry for “Instance” looked like a proper URL. Even better I’d think would be to actually ping the entry, or something like that.
Because you know… careless idiots like me. ^^
Not just that, but I’d think it really useful to check that stuff right up front when a user logs in, including checking their ID & PW to see if it successfully logs in. Otherwise I suppose users are bound to see these “500” errors if they screw part of that up, I guess.
EDIT: Nah, even when I seem to schedule things, the tool just doesn’t seem to work anymore in terms of known time-differences.
Thanks, mate!
So, both the acct and destination community were hosted by Lemm.ee. It’s one of the big-five or big-four instances (whatever) across the Lemmysphere, FWIW.
I suppose I could test this from FF (I’m on Chrome) if you think that might work, altho it did work fine in Chrome just a week ago. *shrug*
Hi, Elevator,
I started using the scheduler last week, and it worked splendidly at the time.
Trying it again the last few hours, I’m getting “500” errors when trying to put something through. Can you confirm on your end?
EDIT: Solved! See below.
Oof. I’ve been in the ER a couple times recently due to hypertension spikes. Some scary shit, yeah. Meds now adjusted, yadda-yadda, and hopefully things work out.
In the meantime, still trying to get some posts out there to keep the sublemmy alive. Unfortunately, numbers are rather sharply down the past couple weeks. Usually this is simply due to the vagaries of timestamps and theme of material, but I’m not sure it’s just that, anymore.
Oh well, a few more weeks will hopefully tell the tale, for ze better or ze wurst.
I guess, truth be told, that we could ALL use some help with our projects(!)
