Welcome :)

This was reported as being unrelated to this community, but I can reapprove it with any new context

No worries! Thank you for including all that, and for taking the time to talk to people.

I find it silly how, in the same thread,

• some users say that picking a server will be too complicated
• while others recommend custom patching a third party app APK with the latest workarounds in order to keep using Reddit, and repeating that process every time an update breaks them

You've likely helped a lot of people, don't worry about the silly ones :)

Can you link these as you see fit, maybe instead of the infographic? They respond to some of the common 'criticisms'

Also I don't think recommending one instance is the way to go, even if it gets people to join. Causing centralization harms us in the long run.

Here is how we approached it

Yup, there's a discussion in the main rules post talking about the different dates. I imagine the organizer will understand if there is some discrepancy

Discogs lists 2024 and MusicBrainz lists 2024-02-16, so I'll add it to the list

There are a few

I've been playing with LemmySchedule to schedule out posts ahead of time. This can be good if you want to sit down once and queue a number of posts to go out over the course of a few hours, or if you want to make recurring discussion threads (which work great for building up a community slowly). For example, I'm testing it out with another account here: @otters_raft@lemmy.ca

There is also @bot@rss.ponder.cat, which you can set up to post from RSS feeds. This sounds closest to what you want to do from the other thread. The instructions are here: https://rss.ponder.cat/post/34622. For example, I have it set up to post from a youtube channel in !marinemammalrescue@lemmy.ca

There may be others out there :)
