Hi, I’m also Terencio on mastodon.social and Sergio on piefed.social. I mostly use this account to make posts that are easier here.

    First off all, take a look at [email protected], it’s a place where people who do this kind of thing talk about it.

    Second of all, that’s a great question and something that we ask ourselves a lot. There are a couple different approaches.

    • just ask people to join in on posting. Sure, make a “meta” post, but also dm people who reply or ask them in comments (so others can see as well)

    • have “events”. Like there’s one now on [email protected] related to Halloween movies, where anyone else is welcome to join in. On [email protected] , which will probably always be niche, I just make a post at the beginning of the bimonthly tourneys telling people how to follow the tourney, and I say I’ll only be posting 3 more times over 15 days and they’re welcome to also post if they want.

    • queue up several posts at once and schedule them to be posted later. You can do this in piefed or there was some other service for lemmy I think, or just write them out in a text file. On [email protected] I have weekly posts queued up for the next month. Say something like “here’s my weekly post! feel free to make your own!”

    Hope that helps!
