        …Obama? GUYS!!! OBAMA HAS A LEMMY ACCOUNT AND I FOUND IT!!!

        Or maybe I found Obamas clone…wait, how much of sci-fi is real now? I mean, I know we got the star trek communicators, and space travel…I know we did SOME cloning. We cloned a sheep. Have we cloned a president yet? Hopefully not reagan…or bush…or trump.

        God it feels weird knowing that trump was actually president. That is a real thing that happened for 1 full term. And the weirder thing is, it’s scarily close to happening again in a week!!!

        Ok…I guess the actual status of it wouldn’t be official until January, but you know what I mean!

    I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10 Edit: I’m definitely a lurker though. We have value and votes, and are important to the ecosystem!

      I made one post and feel like I’ve earned my retirement.

      Ok, I made it on a prior account but I inherited the retirement dammit!

      Since you already complained about the wrong vocabulary, I can continue with my lurking ways.

    What annoys me about Reddit-like communities (yes including Lemmy) is that there’s this downvote feature.

    The whole idea of these discussion boards is to have… discussions. Well, perhaps not so much this particular sub lol. So it’s annoying when you make a post or reply to someone with a constructive reply or argument, and then people can’t be arsed to actually reply, they just downvote to disagree and move on. It’s like the equivalent of people just going like “lol no” and then walk away.

    Frankly it’s a feature that feels like it completely contradicts the point of online forums.

      There are instances who don’t have 'em and even frontends that allow you to hide it.

      I agree.

      But also downvoting is very useful as community moderation tool. I participate in some communities with regular, scummy spam posts that are technically off topic and not quite bannable. They’d get naive, hype driven upvotes if left alone. And I like that there’s a community mechanism to bury them.

        Yeah I don’t think it’s entirely useless, it’s mostly useful for filtering out spam posts and unrelated stuff from communities.

        Just on a comment/discussion level it feels like it’s not that great.

    There is an API you can use with pythorhead or other libraries to schedule posts very easily. @[email protected] uses it to automate loads of posts from his pic collections in local storage, and will gladly provide you with source code and assistance.

    I can only post when I’m feeling strong, because I’m terrified of y’all disapproving. :(

    Nah as long as they Upvote content and don’t complain about content being posted they can stay lurkers.

    (If they do complain they can be the change they want to see and post, that’s what I did)

      Yeah THAT blows my mind a bit? I posted to an empty community and it got deleted. What the fuck? It wasn’t offensive and it was on topic. It was a niche community too.

    Whenever I have something to say, someone has already said it. People are always on the ball here.
