So I made a script that post once every 8 hours or where I start the script. The script will post to random c/ that has subscribers but low activity from a corresponding subreddit in hopes of jump starting it.
I do like the features where the image/video is simply put the url into the URL of a lemmy post so Reddit host the file and lemmy instances simply have to send text.
So far it has been a success. While I was building the script and making it post to my very niche 1 sub community the post ended up getting a few comments and over a dozen up votes. Which is great because I got surprised and I got to engage with other users and learn about something new.
Really the challenge is to find existing communities that don’t have a active counterpart, have subscribers, have little to no activity, and something I have knowledge over. It would be strange to have something posted randomly and know nothing about that community or post or I have to spend 10 minutes figuring out what got posted
Except it’s not dead Internet because I actually interact with the comments on my Post. Plus repost do actually have a life of their own weirdly enough.
What’s old is new and what’s new will become old
