Here’s my immediate-term roadmap for this instance:

  1. Establish more formal site-wide Code of Conduct
  2. Define Creative Commons licensing for content
  3. Build some bots for our mods!

A bit longer, but still short-term:

  1. Establish an organization to run this instance
  2. Create a way for this org to collect donations to lesson server cost burden

And starting now/soon but moving into the medium term:

  1. Refactor infrastructure to ensure durability and stability
  2. Start and/or contribute to open-sourced projects related to lemmy mod-tooling, bots, and wikis

Maybe not surprisingly, I’m actually off to the park in a few minutes to toss a baseball around with some friends but I’ll be back this afternoon to work on these tasks!

Please comment your thoughts on the roadmap. Am I missing anything? Is there anything you’d like to see me focus on? Do you want to contribute?

    But definitely going to need some bots (or users!) to feed a regular supply of content

    I am working on a game-day bot now!

    How possible is it to have the posting behavior be such that it scrapes the main picture from a linked website? Manually adding an image isn’t too onerous, but it would be nice to have that automated. (Not sure if this is a platform issue or community based script/code issue)

    That’s a great question. If I were to guess I would say that is a platform-related, not community-related feature request. If you’re a programmer you can submit a PR to the repo here.
