Now it's a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)

It'll take a while for some of the smaller communities to get critical mass. And that's okay, probably. Critical mass is here for the larger topics already. I'll do my best to help :)

How do I go about it without damaging the server, it's reputation in the fediverse, and just generally keeping the admins happy.

Example: In c/printSF I want to write a bot that autodetects books titles, and comes up with links to those books on booknaut or similar (confined to one comment per post). But that bot will need to poll c/printSF periodically, and it'll need to post under its own bot username.

Do I register the username just like I did mine, and specify that it's for a utility bot in a community I moderate?

Can I play in c/test without it flooding the local frontpage?

Are there any general guidelines or criteria, other than obviously no spamming?

Would it be useful if c/moderators or something similar existed so we can exchange ideas and best practices and such without polluting main's SNR?

Cheers

Anyone old enough to remember using v1.0?

Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint::According to one professor, we may be able to stop climate change if we used a new super white paint to cover the entire United States

When you click on About Instance, then View Communities, then click on a community you aren't subscribed too, you get the wrong community (one you aren't subscribed to).

KDE was a huge part of my life for well over a decade, from when I first installed a v1 beta, to when I got my CVS commit rights circa 2000, to coding and organizing events all the way through 2010. Eventually, though, my life went a different direction.

Well today I was cleaning up my linkedin connections, trying to keep the network relevant (fewer vectors for spam or whatever) and I removed all but four of my dozens of KDE and former KDE contacts. It was interesting clicking through each profile -- so many of those early contributors are now CEOs, presidents, partners, founders, etc. Open source software experience, and the KDE community experience clearly drew in a lot of very talented and ambitious people.

So now I'm just here to reminisce. How's everyone doing? When did you discover KDE?

Native NVMe support - among other things

That's all. It's the first lemmy app I've tried, and aside from the inbox being totally busted, it looks and works great :)
