eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 24/12/2024I will get to you eventually it's been a lot more work than anticipated and I haven't had a lot of bandwidth for it with the holidays 130
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 24/12/2024No programming is required! You can use something like skyfeed.app (it's a bit more technical but it's what I use) or blueskyfeedcreator.com which I haven't tried but have heard it works well.skyfeed.appSkyFeedReal-time app for Bluesky with a powerful Feed Builder 030
Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Something I'm seeing a lot of is volunteer service operators moving those services to a different account. I wonder if making it easier to do that would be a good thing to lobby the devs for. 10374

eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Yea that's still the plan. Just need to sit down and do it. It's #4 on my list of things to do tonight. 020
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I was talking to some young friends and I mentioned Brendan Eich. They asked "that's the homophobic guy who made that crypto browser right?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 3275
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Same. I get the booster more than once per year and mask somewhat diligently 000
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I'm in the opposite boat. Used to be constantly sick, now I actually can't remember the last time I had a cold and last had covid 2 years ago. (Knocking on wood) 020
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Is it just me or has everyone been getting sick way more often? Is it just bias because we let each other know now whereas before no one mentioned it? 12391
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Discouragement for who? These things can take a bit of work and time to get started but in the end all it needs is a bit of attention now and then. Kinda like a plant lol 150
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I think it's fine to run a more niche feed if you have low availability. You could probably do a list+emoji type feed and just add people when you can. There's lots of feeds like that currently where new people only get added every so often. 110
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Nope. Managing other mods is something I have done before and don't want to do again. I would rather people be in charge of their own thing than subordinate to me. 160
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I am planning to do that actually! The other thing I need to be able to do is block over minor stuff that isn't worthy of getting booted from a whole community... because right now that's what happens if I block you. 040
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024As a post-script, does anyone have tips for managing notifications when you have ADHD? Yes I already use the mentions feed. 8191
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024This is potentially a way to promote other community creators and move the center away from myself. I can't shoulder as much responsibility as I have, nor should I. I'm going to think about it a bit more tonight and hopefully implement the change this week. 5360
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024What I'm thinking is converting the existing feed to an index of gardening communities. We can have the regional feeds in there of course, and if people are interested, we can have feeds by zone and by interest. I'll continue to make myself available to help folks build their own feeds as well. 3150
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024In the interest of my original goal for the feed: promoting gardeners and creating a nice space for people to post plants, I think what I would like to do is promote gardening-related communities I'm not in charge of. 3130
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024So what to do instead? Honestly I've had a call of the void to just delete my account and let the community sort itself out. I am NOT going to do that. 160
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I still want to do regional feeds and I want to keep a Gardening Feed Classic that's just exactly as it is now, but I don't think I want to go through with the federation idea. After some research I don't think the strategy is going to scale. I also don't want to be in charge of *The* Gardening Feed 190
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I'm going back to why I started the feed in the first place. At the time, there were only like 100k people on bluesky and I wanted to promote gardening as something to post about on here because I wanted to see people's plants! 2250
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I can't have the app on my phone due to the volume of notifications and I don't have the bandwidth to sit down and check them every day. I need to be able to go back to blocking over minor stuff without barring someone who hasn't done anything wrong from a large community. 2120
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I'm running into problems: I am now at the center of almost everything gardening-related that happens on bluesky. That's probably not the best for anyone. It's definitely not ideal for me. 15906
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Sooo I've been off my meds and didn't realize how much time had passed. About to catch up. 3251
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 04/12/2024ok i haven't been online a lot because i had to uninstall the app from my phone due to notifications. I honestly am not even that busy i just have ADHD and a million tiny tasks that are all more urgent and important than the 3 or 4 things that need to get done to migrate the gardening feed. 11531
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Thanks for letting me know about that account. They're removed. Content aggregators and especially those AI slop ones are not allowed so I will remove them immediately as soon as I catch them! 050
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I do have another volunteer for south america! I would love to have more help though and I'm still looking for a volunteer to do Brasil. 120
Reposted by eepy 🍂🥧🥀Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 29/11/2024Also do not follow those aggregator accounts that post a bunch of stolen pictures of foxes or whatever without any attribution. I've seen a number of those cycle through various identities - they may be just trying to accumulate a lot of followers so they can sell the account to some bad actor. 10675138

eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024There is a southwest feed but I'm giving everyone a few days before I cause an influx 030
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I say that and then actually was able to catch up on my commute! 150
eepy 🍂🥧🥀 @eepy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Unless you already added it in Skyfeed, your PNW feed doesn't understand #PNWGardening yet. Posts with that hashtag won't go to your feed. 200
