MentalEdge is literally carrying ALL the fanart communities all by himself. Do you run an automated bot on your acc or sm? This activity is insanity. Also you’re a bless for us nevertheless! :3
I don’t know how up to date the repo is, but they set up a way to essentially queue up a bunch of image posts and then trigger them via matrix messages. I sometimes think I spend too much time making posts while trying to keep up on anime news to share, but I don’t even hold a candle to MentalEdge.
Hi PrivateNoob, I still remember running into you a lot in my early days :D
I’m currently using pretty much what’s on the repo.
Working on an update though, which will enable me to use a single command to make the tool look at which of my communities needs more activity, then go out and find a potentially suitable image from danbooru or pixiv to post.
Also working on the ability to give it just a danbooru/pixiv artist id, and then go through and queue upp all their work, instead of copy pasting a link to each one I wanna share. And to also then remember the artist and periodically check if they’ve posted more art.
The goal is to make queueing up posts, sharing my favorite artists, finding and curating new ones, as easy as swiping through some tinder profiles every day.
Yoo Mental! Yeah I still remember you from the NFS community especially! :D
You’re impressive ngl, but hopefully, you will be able to break up your main file because it can become unmanageable really fast if you start to expand it. But that’s just me.
But holding the code in my head gets so much harder when I do that. There’s something about the way I think about code that makes it easier for me to do monolithically. Just keeping the whole thing in my mind as a long, from the top downwards list.
There shouldn’t be a difference, it’s not like the code is any different. But for the same reason I tend to stick to what comes easy.
I might make the analogy that one long file is like a 2d projection of a 3d space for me. I can picture the process moving through the code easier, and as soon I split things into multiple files, it’s like my single-dimensional thinking has to become multi-dimensional.
Well everyone works a little bit different, so it’s wise to formulate the code to your own likeness. For example I really like separating everything into their own task if possible, since I can get overwhelmed by scrolling through thousands of lines.
Since I have started moderating communities and trying to foster discussions, I have tried to get in the habit of sticking to gender neutral language when referring to internet strangers unless I know better. Even though I am willing to bet the vast majority of users in my communities are male, I don’t want to assume and make anybody uncomfortable. So, now I know!
Just as a side note, I personally know somebody that has transitioned and changed their pronouns, and I still mess it up all the time in conversation. So, when I am posting in text form rather than spoken language, with the opportunity to proofread, I always try to double check what I write with things like that in mind.

Well this is amazing then ngl. Thank you for the info!

Haha… I know that’d be best practice.

FYI I’m a “he”. PrivateNoob got it right.
Also, you put in a different kind of effort which I wouldn’t be able to do, and I appreciate the hell out of you for doing so.

I’m not made uncomfortable regardless of how I’m referred to. I make the same effort you do.
I kind of feel ahead of the curve on that, being Finnish :D
The language doesn’t have gendered pronouns at all. Though there are an awful lot of words like postimies (postman).
