Content management bots would be great. A feature I desperately need right now is actually automatic cross-posting. I host my community on multiple instances and post actively to others. Linking posts together to have better reach and having multiple backups in case of one instance going down is incredibly important to Lemmy's continued growth and survival. Lemmy itself doesn't support a lot of redundancy features, so it'd be nice to automate the process a bit. A start would be a script that logs into an account and cross-posts a specified post to multiple communities in other instances. It'd also be nice to have it append the original instance at the end, so that people can follow for discussion.
Modern games have become too focused on providing a clean, balanced and no-real-obstacles experience. Sometimes I want to play a game that is a cohesive experience without being laser focused on some big idea about how I should play it. As an example, I've recently replayed arx fatalis. It's really fun how you can do everything in that game that you'd want an npc for in any other. It's also fun how each playstyle requires its own big chunk of knowledge about how the game works. Modern games try too hard to be minimalistic and fail to see the fun in a truly open experience. Even when you have options, they have all the fun pre-balanced and pre-optimized out of them. They give you too much info. No sense of discovery
lol, I might just put a small image of like 6 of them XD
Well that would just be quite unshenanigans of me if I went with a boring example, now would it? :)
Everything can be a poison depending on the quantity and method of interaction, at least that's what I heard. Maybe it's poison in your digestive system, but won't actually kill you if you apply it. Kinda like if you drink shampoo versus using it as intended.
Thanks for the kind words! I'll keep 'em coming :)
I like Michael's channel, he's got a good technical backbone and is able to explain things simply and without leaving important nuance out. He also edits really well visually in his other videos, if you can't catch up to technical jargon you'll just see and hear what's going on. That's how tutorials should be!
Though I totally agree, most youtube tutorials are a way rougher trip, but so are any written blog posts and guides. And those are more difficult to verify because you need to research writer's credentials, where as in a video you can already tell how good the producer is.
I am a really slow and inattentive reader, so visual instructions work better for me. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, so I try to post an overview in text on what the video actually explains. That way, I'm not wasting text that most users probably won't read and try to give a good idea of what the video covers to those who do. Part of it is also done in the title. Let me know if you have any feedback relating to that, I'm always looking to improve my writing style!
Ah, yes, the OTT. I got it up there for ya!
Put it up! Thanks!
You made a second post that is the same, mind if I take this one down? Your previous one seems to work just fine, and I suppose if you were to try something else you could try the upload image feature next time? Instance servers allow for uploads.
I see. Though, with the rate we're growing right now we might not stay small for very long, lol. I think keeping the quality bar where people don't just post random stuff with no discussion whatsoever is quite important, and as long as everyone respects each other it should still feel like a small cozy place.
