Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 04]
Endmaker@ani.social 1 month agoMy irl workload continued to be crazy this week. So, that is a contributing factor to the late posting of this thread.
Since these weekly discussion threads tend to follow a standard format, how about scheduling it to be posted at a certain time every week? It can be done for free (and easily in my experience) with cron-job.org.
The only problem I foresee with this approach is when the post body got to be different from usual. In that case, one just has to edit the post body manually like what has been done so far.

In the past, when I knew I wasn’t going to be able to post it myself, I have scheduled posts with a self-hosted version of LemmySchedule. However, this time, I thought I was going to be able to post it myself like I usually do, but then an issue came up late that took me away from my computer. I have thought about fully automating the process similar to what they do for !lightnovels@ani.social, but I actually kind of enjoy making the posts myself when I can. If this happens regularly, I will probably automate things.

this is true
You’ve made a good point. Sometimes, too much automation takes the fun away.
