Making a community for fediverse streamers (lemmings.world)

I started a c/ for owncast and peertube !fedistream@lemmy.world . so far its just been me and a bot generating content for it. the bot just post stats of who has the most hours streamed and most views, along with those that streamed most recently at the time a post was made.

I pinned a comment of a curated list of fediverse streamers (their stream url and mastodon handle), https://lemmy.world/post/26651394 . the list excludes and radio and TV streams and the streamers are people that you can interact with

Its a work in progress. but it should give more engagement with lemmy, also I am open to suggestions.

not something id want to do but id suggest a twitch community, since the twitch subreddit is a really big community

Truth is I have no idea what he's saying other than having an issue with my alt account using a bot to post to a single instance

The community looks cool! Subscribed

There were two parts to it. One was marking the account as a 'bot' account. Bots are fine, a lot of people use them, but it can be helpful to mark it in the user settings. Various apps will see that to format the post better, among other things. If you log in with the bot account and go to settings, you will find a checkbox.

The other part was asking about the instance, and it's more just curiosity. I'd recommend taking a quick look at this guide here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

In your case, the instance is where you made an account (lemmings.world) is different from where you made the community (lemmy.world). Which is a fine thing to do, but they were wondering if there was any reason for that. Most people make communities on the same instance out of convenience

I though "my instance" was like saying "my server". I do see accounts with their own instances and he thought I did. I have separate accounts for accounts for separate things. id rather this account get dinged if i break rules than the account that I used to make the fedistreams community.

Ah, makes sense.

It's just that a lot of communities are already on LW, and that creates technical issues with some instances (see !meta@aussie.zone )
