Sometimes you want to make a post for a community but don’t want to reach the ALL audience (niche or controversial communities). Here is a pseudo workaround to achieve this.
- Make a post
- Immediately delete the post
- Wait 12-24 hours
- Undelete the post
The post will appear in the community at the original creation time and not the undelete time. This avoids the bulk of people who browse all by new (since it will be buried 12 hours in the past). Subscribers will still see the post in their feed
A community that most people don’t like, but some people do like - like a diet community. You want to make a post for the subscribers but don’t want all of lemmy to downvote it.
ah that makes so much sense. I frequent to llm related comm, and most posts get immediately downvoted because of lemmy’s general opinion on llms. Now that you have described this, I think this should be a feature upstream
subscriber only communities are on the roadmap, one day soonish.
