with that there would need some way for people to have things to initially review to get the community started. Could do something like after the first 3 posts the point system goes into effect
"No connection to the Voyager app, it's a staging environment for Lemmy named re: Star Trek". Theyre saying its a staging area for lemmy itself not voyager
its named after the tv series star trek voyager. theres also enterprise.lemmy.ml named after star trek enterprise
the issue with having that in the main communities is communication will be one way if you try to reply to that. Theres bots such as the l4s bot that is in the middle of the two that ocasionally cross-posts link posts that are popular though. Thats still controversial but can be easily blocked
note the programming.dev one has more subscribers (although both are around the same) and more activity now, lemmy just doesnt show accurate numbers in local instances
hasnt had a chance to grow until recently since aoc hasnt happened yet
if the admins in world dont get back to you if you want I can add you to the p.d one
I am noticing where its posting and im adjusting it accordingly based on that
I just didnt see a spot that has more comments than daily users as you said from the spots its posted to,but it has been posting to locations in general
The suggestion there I have fixed. The C programming language isnt being suggested anymore and dotnet and C# dont suggest each other anymore. I usually delete or edit the bots messages to account for my tweaks but forgot to do so there due to it being one of the first so ill do that now, ill also go and do the same for the rest of the bots messages. I agree other people shouldnt need to clean it up which is why ive been doing so and will do the rest now
again 1 comment occasionally isnt spam. This is just the same things over and over though in this chain so will stop on this chain. Just note I will clean up future bot messages and tweak it if it posts incorrectly which it should be doing much less now that its been refined. Other people shouldnt be needing to clean it up (if you call opting out as maintenance work its just one dm to send me and I can then deal with it) and it shouldnt be overwhelming communities. If I deem its been doing fine I can swap it to auto crosspost in the future although this doubles as leading people to post their future posts in that community without needing the bot
Ive been paying attention which is why I dont see the communities youre talking about (especially after ive tweaked things). If youre quoting the instance rules with that theres the rule #5 exception which can make bots transition to be opt out instead of opt in. If you want it removed from c++ node and cloud I can do that (I assume you do considering what youve been saying so will remove the three communities from the bots sight)
which communities? And triggering is relevant since by reducing how its triggered it reduces the about the comments it posts or as you like to call them spam
Ive responded so many times at this point saying why its not spam and why they add value
Just for you ill add a rule that it cant trigger on any of your posts
for node.js it seems like it was triggering on the .js which I just went through and removed so it should get barely any triggers now unless you explicitly mention something
for that community message it sent you posted an article about graphql and about performance
I made it not crosspost by default so I can tweak things and so people are guided for future posts. (and to prevent false positives while im tweaking things). Im purposely tweaking it to fire less and less and like I said im aiming to get it to fire on 2% of the posts
The article on c/programming was about postgresql and the article on c/postgresql was about performance. Both were articles that could be crossposted to those communities and both are communities that need some more activity so the bot just lets the author and people who enjoy that post know about a community they may not otherwise know about.
Based on firing without me tweaking it to remove that case its fired twice in the past two days, once today and once yesterday out of all of the posts posted to the instance which is barely anything and is nowhere close to spam. There was 46 posts in the instance total today and 85 in the past two days. Its also one comment that can easily be ignored and will be buried by other comments due to how lemmy's default comment sort works with putting newer comments at the top
If you severely dislike the bot you can block it and you will no longer see those comments
A lot of blocks people have are of mastodon instances as well so if youre only interested in thread content that probably needs to be taken into account as well since mastodon instances tend to have more people than lemmy instances
It does add value, I just said what the value is. The bot isn't just something that points out the opensource community, it's for all communities and it just noticed here youre posting about open source which you are
But yeah open-source is one of the communities I've posted less to recently cause I tend to not get things I can post to it from what I normally browse but I can add some more activity there. Been mainly focusing on building up the language communities and communities that don't even get posts in a week normally
I have two accounts, a mod account and a non mod account which I use to post called mac
I've been posting a ton of content on various communities (and am the most active poster) but this bot is just to help guide people from things like the programming community to the more specific topic communities to help get those active since c/programming tends to have content that would fit in those and its supposed to be a collector community to filter people towards other communities due to lemmy having bad community discovery out of the instance
I'll be tweaking the triggers and making it fire less based on what I see happening over time
that also didn't ping me btw, you need to include the @programming.dev at the end
mostly different forms of edm for the 5 tracks there
the majority of things I listen to are indie game soundtracks
