I used my mod powers to feature this post on the top regardless of the upvotes. I hope no one feels I have abused my new found powers…
yay thanks!
well the fun part is figuring out how this all works, and what the etiquette is, i simply have no idea either. reddits always been a bit iffy with submitting your own content, which i understand. But its not iffy to make a masto post to promote your own content, and tagging a lemmy group is temptingly easy to do…
(also commenting with lemmy account because i cant get my calckey account to do it lol)
while I didn’t mind having this show up in my feed, i’m glad that you kept in mind the cultural norms against self-promotion on reddit, which i think will (and definitely should!) carry over to lemmy/kbin. i think it’s important to be mindful of it especially when linking one’s own external site.
and since this is the fediverse, it could and should go further on the privacy front than reddit did. i’d really like if in the future we see lemmy/kbin develop etiquette around linking sites which load google analytics/other spyware and trackers.
p.s. i’m not on mastodon. how do you tag a lemmy community from it? using a tag in the body of the post, like you would for another mastodon user?
Seems like a perfectly reasonable post to pin for this community
