Yeah if you guys want it I totally think it's a great way to get people checking in. Only thing is, for the time being, I don't know a way to implement this (besides doing manual posts with pins as OP mentions). We can start off making posts without a bot as automation is a bit tricky for me on this site ATM. If someone can help out with this, that would be greatly appreciated since my knowledge is very limited. Of course, I'll also look into how we can make this work and find a chance to consult the other mods.

I think without striving to match reddit's formatting exactly, at the moment just putting one up and pinning it would be a good start prior to figuring out an automated solution. Could be tedious but having a reminder to refresh it each week or so until better tools come out is a solution. As the other META discussion thread today and previous ones have brought up, I think there's a concern that users may just feel this community is bogged by update threads only, so having a manually pinned thread as a placeholder for now would give a better impression for new users, a sign that this place is for any posts about manga, just that the low-effort updates tend to be the most common due to being easy even for ex-lurkers like me.
Thank you very much for looking into it! Hope it works out well.
I'd love this. And if you guys do this I might actually record what I read, as well as my impressions, across the week. Just to comment in that thread. (Warning: it's 90% isekai. Often really, really shitty ones, Alcafus tier.)
Jaja same, I treat it as a blog for my own posts, but I do only one per week. But I do read it constantly to have conversations that don't merit their own posts or to find recommendations.
I'm all for this, it would be a good way to get a bit of chat going each week which is important for keeping the sublem active!
I’m for it. New to lemmy so not sure if there’s auto-mod to make life easier on the mods
Yeah not sure about the possibility of automation, if it needs to be manual I would volunteer to make the post, but there is still a need for a mod to pin it so it's pretty much useless if it doesn't come from them.
I don't think there is an automod but it should still be possible to make a dedicated bot account for these things... Though it would be a bit more difficult than programming automod... In the end it is up to the mods to decide how to implement something like this
Although, it sounds like a fun challenge to make a software to easily create automations for lemmy... Maybe if I get the time to I might mess around with the idea
Completely agree with this, and if you get no response from the mods I’d say just go for it
Jaja I can't really go for it myself, I do need for the post to be pinned.
I did do a post about this 3 or 4 days ago, but it became buried quickly, although some people did participate. But it needs to be pinned, it's one of the most important parts
This would be a good idea honestly. Especially when we need traction on getting people chatting.
