IMHO, there is little point posting links if we cannot get the actual discussion going in the comments. Without discussion, you will simply turn communick.news into another https://planet.emacslife.com/.
For self posts, it is particularly important. The whole point of having the package/blog post author around is to ask her questions and get actual comment replies.
Do you have contact with any of the current reddit mods, and do you think they would be willing to endorse some type of bot on reddit that replied to every "self" submission with a link to Lemmy and this community? I think that would give some credence to the idea that the whole community wants to move away from reddit.
You can try contacting /r/orgmode mods. Like https://old.reddit.com/user/tecosaur or https://old.reddit.com/user/github-alphapapa
I wrote to him about 3 weeks ago, his response to my message was that he was not interested in joining the fediverse and that he is fine with reddit for now.
Maybe someone else closer could try again?
AFAIK, tecosaur is much more fediverse-friendly person. Also, /r/emacs participated in reddit blackout, so there is a good chance that its mods will be interested. Finally, instead of asking moderators, you may also ask the community by creating a post on reddit - it is the community who will be interested or annoyed by the bot you propose.
Something like that, or a full-fledged post? :)
Full post. Not everyone is reading every single comment. Even in that weekly tips thread.
There we go!
