    I have enjoyed the training diary, but I’m seriously addicted and have tons I’m reading. So the actual quality is both suspect because of how much I read between each chapter and how low my bar for reading is.

    It did feel like the recent arc of taming this one monster was a little dragged out, and then I was a little disappointed by the actual result of it.

    I’m looking into making a bot for [email protected] to implement a vote to tag system so people can vote to add tags to it for purposes like indicating what genres it falls into. (With maybe keeping the bot general so other communities could use it)

    Afaik there’s no current tag system so I was thinking of just storing it a basic database until there is. If it takes too long for them to implement one, then maybe I’ll add a web interface for it.

    My only experience with creating a bot is discord and the discord.js library. I was wondering if there was someone who could help me make it. I can learn any language for it, but I have an amount of experience in js, lua, java, c# (a long time ago), and c++ (last I remember was an attempt at multi threading that kinda fell flat).

    I saw Lemmy Guardian over at [email protected] and that’s about the only example I could find (I just started looking).

    Edit: I’ve gotten home and done more looking.

    I found a large thread about implementing automoderator in Lemmy (with the suggested name of Janitor), as well as a discussion on tags. The addition of an automoderator would be nice, but I do not expect my slightly niche bot to conflict with that. Some of the topics brought up in the tags discussion on the other hand, might directly conflict with my proposed bot. It seems to me that the consensus is that unmoderated tags are not going to happen, and that the tags will only be controllable by the poster (and probably moderator).

    On the other hand, I saw a lot more bots listed that I could further look into, as well as a typescript api library, rather than just the python one I found with the earlier bot



  • What are your thoughts on trying to implement a bigger tag system if/when Lemmy gets one? I remember a meta post discussing it on Reddit.

    I, admittedly, don’t remember that much of it, but I do remember feeling like it boiled down to a combination of “we tried before” and “we’re too old a community to be adding big new things”

    Of course, it should include the basic “required” flairs (OC, meta, text (rename?)), but I think a series, oneshot, and maybe in-universe or episode 1 tags would be a good basic minimum to add.

    Maybe proper genre tags could be voted on by commentors rather than relying on every poster actually using them or correctly identifying all relevant genres.


  • As a Linux noob, the only time I’ve broken my bootloader was updating my distro after ignoring it for a year. I ignored the update because it broke a badly made script badly solving the complex problem caused by a simple problem that I ignored the solution to.

    I finally fixed the simple problem because I needed to upgrade a library to get a modded launcher working so I could play with my friends. And I was thinking of rewriting the firmware for my macro keyboard to be better structured anyways.

    I went back to the old firmware with a simple fix as the new one has a weird bug that if I hold two “even” keys at once, I get spammed down signals for the higher order one.

    Linux has been fun!
