Fabulous to get up and see a new daily thread. This manual setup for everything instead of midnight magic will take some getting used to.
I think for now it's fine with whoever is up around midnight. I was a big supporter of the midnight smile club :D, starting a new thread is a similar thing. No need to bust your chops over it at the moment.
But learning to create a bot to post a new thread automatically is just the first step in my cunning plan. I will then be able to move on to creating my own personal bot army. First we will take over the Aussie Zone, then all of Lemmy World will be mine!!! I will throw all the people off and have pristine communities filled entirely with perfect, rule-following robots. Oh, wait, did I say that bit out loud 🤐
It's all good! I was just up at 12:30 and saw one hadn't been posted yet so I did the honours. I think it's fine with whoever is up before one is listed don't the posting, but obviously finding a way to automate that process would probably be best in the long term
Maybe we need a ‘create daily thread’ roster? I’ll do a day, if someone explains how
Instead of a roster everyone on the old DT at midnight could vote for someone to do it. It is just a new post so doesn't require anything special to do, although I think it needs a mod to actually pin it which can be done later.
Yeah, that’s a better idea..
The only requirement is that you come up with a good title ;)
