The ability to define “content sources” (RSS feeds and/or other subreddits) to have a central place to find interesting content that can be shared with the Lemmy Community.
The ability to post content from these sources with one single click.
What you are proposing is basically half of what I've done with fediverser and https://alien.top. The bots reposting content were regarded by the majority (or by the loud minority) as "not a good idea".
I have to say I'm really damn happy with the first half-year of !dungeonmeshi.
MAU is still nearly double the sub-count so there's tons of interest.
The first season has now finished airing, but I'm going to run a series of manga discussion threads while continuing the usual posts, which should help the people who don't watch seasonally find their way to the community.
The anime adaptation turned out absolutely stellar, and as more people watch it now that a season is out to binge in full, I'm certain this fandom will only continue to grow.
I find that icons and images help a good bit for engagement. Thumbnails and community icons go a long way on different apps/frontends. I think it matters :)
Sounds like that would be welcome on slrpnk.net as long as you don't plan to set up a Reddit repost bot or something like that. Also note our 5mb image upload limit and currently our pictrs image back end does not allow animated media (gifs/video) but I would be willing to look into changing that setting for small files (storage is not unlimited).
!electricvehicles is doing well, as is !avs. I would like more content over at !selfhosted but it's organic and that will come in time. Football is a dilemma because there's no moderator there, so even when I check it out, there's six old posts stuck there. Other than that, I'm kinda just floating around. I probably need to mods for some of the communities that @sabreW4K3 moderates.

There is a mod, they pinned my post about the prediction post. If you see 6 posts pinned, that's probably an issue federation, you can ask the mod to pin/unpin them to unstuck them.
@Beaver and @ElCanut, you seem to be the most regular posters of this type of content, what to you think about this idea of a new initiative on mander.xyz?
My opinion about this is that the fediverse seems a bit quiet recently, and maybe it would be better to stay on an instance and accept their default rather than creating a new one.
But hey, fediverse also means decentralization, so it might be worth a shot, I'll try to post in both communities and see what happens.
Is there someplace where I could find more information about mander admins ? I don't want to have the same debate in 3 months because there is a problem with their moderation policy
Modlog is a limited way of knowing the admins values. I really hope one day we'll have cooperative owned servers, but in the meantime we can only speculate and hope the admins will behave reliably
Indeed, but it seems that nowadays people are comfortable calling out power tripping admins, so as nothing has been reported about mander.xyz, they seem fine
!superbowl is still doing ok, though not quite at its peak. I don't think new subs are going up by much these days. I have seen comments by a few new names, which is very nice to see. Overall comment levels are about the same. Upvotes seem steady, but not as high as they were around the new year. I do think the year end festivities really boosted things though.
I'm happy to be ahead of !opossums again though (no offense, I love opossums too, but I want to be #1 wild animal sub!) and I look to be top of the 2nd page of communities overall, so even though I'm not doing quite as well as I perhaps feel I should be doing, I feel I can't complain too much.
I still get a few positive compliments each week and people are sharing their personal stories with owls, which is always nice to hear. As long as I know the content is making people happy, I feel it's worth the work.
I've enjoyed having a few things to share with the !digitalbioacoustics community. I've gotten some great recommended reading materials from that group in return. Maybe I'll have to look into more collabs and get some cross promotion going.
