I was going to just manually make a post for seasonal episodes as I watch them, but if you want to automate it, why not?
Just maybe initially limit it to the more popular shows, otherwise I also think it might overwhelm this still small community.
You can take a look at all seasonal animes the bot considers here: https://github.com/r-anime/holo/blob/master/season_configs/spring_2023.yaml
It would certainly be possible to add a whitelist to these shows and only post episode dicussions on demand in the beginning.
The trick would be to define the difference between popular/small. Especially early each season when everything is fair game.
For the still running season, why not just take the top 10 from the /r/anime ranking. Although I agree it's hard to draw a hard limit, you need to do it somewhere. And if someone misses their favorite show, they can still post a thread themselves.
I'd wager that next month this community will not be that small anymore, then it could be ramped up.
To hasten that process, a subtle information drive on r/anime and other anime-related subs about Lemmy could be done. The problem is with the login process and the slight learning curve that Lemmy comes with. Hope the devs solve it sooner and streamline it better.
