Eu sei que há alguma aversão a posts feitos por bots, mas dá-me a sensação que não faz grande diferença quem é que inicia um post — desde que tenha interesse, a malta comenta e a discussão emerge. E com isso a comunidade vai ficando ativa e as pessoas começam a postar espontâneamente.

Penso que podia ser boa ideia experimentar com bots que criem posts com base em notícias de fontes pré-selecionadas (sem paywall, sem serem do Nónio, com cobertura de temas pouco batidos, jornalismo independente, etc.) Nem têm de ser notícias. Por exemplo episódios de podcasts como o Fumaça, o 45 graus ou o Inpertinente da FFMS também costumam ser bons. Ou videos de algum canal do YouTube, ou até sumários de links trending no masto.pt, enfim, pode-se pensar um pouco fora da caixa.

Aliás, que tal fazermos um levantamento de fontes que a comunidade gostaria de ver como origem de posts?

...king?

OS: Linux, Arch (btw).

FTFY

Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?

You're doing it right. That's exactly how to build momentum! 💪

Not at all! Just like with price, the difference between zero and one is hugely more consequential than any extra dollar added. Think of it: if you see a community with no posts in the last hour, or day, it does feel a bit deserted. Or a post without comments. By adding a post, or the first comment, you can be the difference for the next guy's impression, and encourage them to do the same, and then the ball gets rolling, and that's how you get momentum.

I can do it later today if nobody else gets to it first.

Yeah, I've been wanting this as well. You may want to post this on the issue tracker, though, so that the request won't get lost in the feed.

Username checks out ^(sorry for the redditism 🙈)

You know what, I had paid for the lifetime pro mode in sync for reddit, and usually prefer one-time payments to recurring subscriptions, but I chose to go with the recurring ultra subscription this time, to contribute to your regular financial stability. Your dedication is commendable. Thanks for all the work you've done over the years!

Workflowy and Teuxdeux are two web apps where I spend an embarrassingly large amount of my time online. I wish there were FOSS alternatives because I would happily contribute features and fixes to the issues I bump into in my daily usage.

I thought Sync for Lemmy was going to be open source... Or was that just wishful thinking by the user community?
