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.

I’m gonna hold off on the decision until I see a bit more input, but if the general sentiment is that staying open is better, I’m not gonna go against the flow there. I just wish Lemmy devs added some features to counterbalance the fragmentation of the fediverse

Wrote a long winded-reply and my internet cut off when I sent it so I’ll keep it brief. I agree that we don’t want to centralize. However, Lemmy isn’t feature complete. I’d love us to have some more reach. I don’t need control over where that reach goes or how big this community gets, I just want it to be big enough to be functional. And functional means having enough folks with knowledge to help out new guys and being able to able to post a thread looking for advice and be likely to get replies. That’s all I want. And for that to be a reality, Lemmy needs to step up it’s cross-posting game from reddit. I don’t like the attitude of FOSS community with regards to things like Linux, that user experience issues is a user problem, not a software problem, “just use the console, bro”, though that’s been getting better over the years. I just have to disagree there, it’s only valid up to a certain point that is reached far too quickly. I feel like we shouldn’t make it harder on users than we absolutely have to.

That said, you’re right, I don’t own this c/ and I don’t dictate the rules. I just hope that the rules we can agree on will help us build a community that people want to join. That’s my goal.

Hah, I thought I noticed some autotune weirdness! I usually watch on 2x speed and sometimes I don’t slow down for examples. Glad to know it wasnt just me!

I only took a glance at it, but it’s definitely on my list. I wasn’t even on this planet back when this was released so it’s always insane to see what media used to be like beyond just old movies! /u/can pulled this gem out of nowhere and I’m here for it!

Yeah, I often get pissed off at music production youtube because I’m trying to search for good information on techniques or genres and all I get is “instruction manual” type videos with zero explanations on why they’re doing what they’re doing or i get “5 [TIPS/METHODS/HACKS] that will make you [crying emoji/surprised emoji/whatever]!” videos that consist of random and unrelated stuff, grouped together and barely explained. I was just looking for content to curate today and stumbled upon his channel, he does indeed have high quality stuff.

Having used Serum for a bit (3 years, poor knowledge of sound design until more recently), there are some big workflow improvements in Vital that honestly are quite worth it for me. But yeah, switching off a plugin you’re well-accustomed to has to provide way more benefits to be worth it than for a non-prior user. Great that it’s free though!

Gregory’s explanations are refreshing and add a ton of perspective, such valuable stuff! I’m not sure about House of Kush plugins or gear, but there are a lot of producers with ears not being able to tell the difference between plugins, who will swear by a product for no other reason than they heard it somewhere else. Make sure you can hear it before you buy it!

Discoverability sucks right now, unfortunately. Crossposting to big instances helps this stuff getting discovered in local. Searching for communities is hard as is (since you need pre-existing knowledge for the server to find it), and making it easier on the end-user will help create a self-sufficient community that can maintain itself and maybe even grow on its own. And you gotta have an account to create a community since there isn’t one here, so that’s just that.
