  • Recipe for instant good Lemmy community

    Effort required from you: 1 hour

    1. Sign up two or three Lemmy accounts. 5 minutes
    2. Go to a niche reddit community and grab half a dozen good submissions in the last year or so. Post them to your Lemmy with different accounts. 10 minutes
    3. Now for the hard part. Go and create some good quality original submissions. Work hard on 2-3 good pieces of content that don’t exist on reddit. 35 minutes.
    4. Post links to those submissions on reddit. 5 minutes
    5. Spend a few seconds voting up and engaging with any commenters in your new community. 5 minutes

    Even simple upvotes from your few accounts can catalyse engagement and make the community start to come together.


  • I operate a rooftop solar power station. While I have scripted all the individual components like battery management, Inverters and the various sinks (for where the power goes when it’s not needed immediately) using Grafana to get alerts, I use automation to activate the various scenes and settings to maximise the useful power I get from the system.
