Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?

Memmy doesn’t give access to PMs

Another useful thing would be to have timed automated repeat posting for the Daily. I think that automation can be limited to Mods only access to prevent spamming.
I think there’s a question here on bot labelling.
Currently the tools exist (separate to Lemmy) to automatically create posts in this manner with a bot. But if it’s a bot then I think it should be labelled as one, and if it’s labelled as a bot then people who have turned on the setting to hide bot posts wouldn’t see if even though the post is about interaction between users.
If you had automatic posting of repeat posts, how is it different to a bot? Should those posts be labelled as bot posts?
I feel that, at the moment, having a person posting the daily post helps drive engagement because you know at least one person will see your comment, and you know one person is seeking conversations (otherwise why would they post the post?).
Understand your engagement comment. I see the Daily as a collection of various topics all encased in a single post, but yes, if someone has bots blocked, it’s not an ideal solution.
Yeah, I feel that people blocking bots aren’t trying to block a daily post like that.
I think your suggestion of timed posts (even without repetition) would be ok. Set up posts in advance, just make sure you line up some new ones every few days to stay ahead of it, then have them post at the time specified. Like a delayed post option.
If timed repeated posts were made from a mod’s account like yours ha, ha, would that be detected as a bot posting? I know a bot will be creating the post, but what would make it look like a bot posting rather than a manual post?
There is a flag on accounts to mark them as a bot. If you created a bot to make the posts, you don’t necessary need to mark it as a bot… But that seems wrong.

iOS right? I’m on Android. There are loads of apps, I probably just haven’t found the setting.
