Not sure music will work as it's videos, and I'm making an assumption that URLs are images.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Just letting you know that the way communities are organised in the directory may change. For example I'm thinking of looking into how to split meme category into subcategories to make it easier to browse and maintain.

Anime artworks, Music, photography 99% won't be touched though.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Will probably start with Anime as that's an easy one.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

General art done in #18

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Photography done in #20

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Themes & Comics done in #22 Not sure my best_of_themes account has created properly though, as I don't think I got a verification email I'll see if I get any approval notification. Noting this here so I don't forget.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Should be one post a day now, at various random times.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Admin contacted me to make sure it was us doing this. Got you approved.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Yeah, got the approvals quite a lot earlier.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

I'm thinking there are nearly enough categories to make a different post every day for a month, and have monthly posts instead!

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Wait, really? But wouldn't it be too rare though? I will need to look at the categories real quick.

(done)

Yeah, if we don't bulk some of the categories together we may do monthly. It would also give more attention to niche categories to not be overshadowed by more popular ones from the same section.

We will need to discuss how much we will be separating them though because some of them are quite small. At least in the current state.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

We may need to merge some subcategories, and split others. Memes in the current state is HUGE, so that needs splitting up (https://github.com/fnic-lemmy/lemmy-directory/issues/34). If we cover the entire directory then a monthly post every day should be easily doable.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Move this convo under the issue about the timeline. And yeah, memes is NOT intended to be like that. I plan to split it up into many categories. I just didn't have time yet to do that because there's always something to do. This is also why I put adding new communities on hold and made milestones to reorganise the directory.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

I also think that monthly posts would actually allow communities to get something posted in them to have it displayed in the best of post instead of it just being lists of inactive communities.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

I've created a calendar here to keep track of the schedule: https://use10.thegood.cloud/apps/calendar/p/dFMpSoX7FPf6EyYX

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

@chris-y Maybe it would be good to have the calendar in the readme of this repo.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Added Wallpapers so we are up to a week's worth now.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

Updated first post with a full list of sections.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Don't touch the last 3 top level sections. They're to be split down. Though the hobbies and professions should be easy enough to do even though there's a bit of overlap between them.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

AI and Music need #8 to be completed. From Music I'm planning on only doing a bot for Genres (and maybe General, having looked back at what is in it - I can separate them by two weeks on the monthly schedule) as that should be a nice list of music. Time periods, artists and instruments are all a bit short and won't really work. Maybe if time periods gains some more decades it will be worth doing a bot for that. If I do both I'll put them under the same bot account, as people not liking one probably won't like the other either.

M4rtineski commented 3 months ago

Well, we don't have to include everything in those posts but if you want to include as much as you can then I will remind about handling multiple categories in one post.

At the moment I'm doing easy/sensible ones. Once I have tiny sections left I might look at #24 to pick up the stragglers.

chris-y commented 3 months ago

on hold - awaiting directory update as the remaining categories need splitting into subcategories first.
