I've met quite a few people like this and anecdotally there seemed to be a trend. Nearly all of them lost someone or had something horrific happen to them and just weren't interested in any of it anymore. I've yet to meet anyone that all of the sudden found some sort of peaceful enlightenment.
Does anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I've always felt they'd be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.

This is a great project and I'm surprised by the tone of the response here. I think most folks are forgetting that most of the people dealing with configuration are not programmers by trade. They just need to setup a tool for their use case. To that end, the gap between the existing configuration paradigm and extending their software is practically insurmountable. This language bridges that gap in a robust and purpose built way and that is going to make a lot of people's lives and jobs easier.
Think about homeassistant and how much less fidly it'd be to get advanced functionality or interfaces if the gap between programming and configuration were closed? There is an absolute fuckton of enterprise and scientific software that will improve in the same way.
The thing to keep in mind here is that he's very much targeting kids (teenagers but still minors lacking real-world experience) and this is exactly the wrong response to that sort of phenomenon.
I'm not saying that "marketable feminism" is directly to blame, but rather that this hyper cynical feminism™ championed by brands and celebrities explicitly does not make room for men while the larger feminist tradition has a lot to say about men's place in the movement. Given how insular gendered friendships are, I don't think we should be surprised that men think what they see on TV constitutes the sum total of feminist ideas. Especially since feminism™ has kind of sucked all the air out of the room for roughly 2 decades (the majority of the life of a man younger than 30).
Yeah, doesn't seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:
I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.
Except as it relates to meta-posts, huh? That's a strange choice for a supposedly community driven model.
All that said, I am very much in favor of some of the things you suggest (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has properly filled their niche.
Do you think there is any way the mod of !moviesandtv@lemm.ee would consider some sort of deal wherein you moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while they link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)? Mentioning @Djinn@lemm.ee
If you believe men are having a hard time, then feminism is right up your alley, isn’t it?
Ultimately, I believe this is a direct result of the capitalist capture of feminist aesthetics into the sort of shallow “pop-feminism” that rose to prominence over the past couple of decades. For young men who’ve only ever seen this hyper-sanitized business driven take on feminism (one that notably does not make room for them), it’s easy for them to see it as an extension of the broader trends that leave them disenfranchised. A lot of young men simply do not have any experience with the broader feminist tradition.
The devs actually talked about this in the AMA from a couple of days ago. Sounds like the current plan is to have all federating servers send their entire list of communities to each other on a regular basis.
The other thing that I think is worth mentioning is Lemmy Community Boost which is basically a bot that serves the same purpose.
Really I mean anything more advanced than keyword filters. Performance friendly NLP has come a long way since the advent of RSS
