I suggest creating /s/TrueSaidIt to better gauge and generate interest. Commenting this for readers, OP has heard it before.

Indeed. I linked to that sub, and the OP, but I regret that I neglected to give you credit as was due. Thanks again. I have yet to check out that sub, or their rules in depth, but at first glance I really liked the sidebox stuff. Weird I'd not heard of it before.

So I had a few ideas I've been thinking about for a while:

Chat

Wondering if a chat could be embedded in Lemmy and if it could piggyback on The Lounge? More importantly, would anyone even care to use it? I don't think the civil forum would care, as few if any of them use it now. But not just for the civil forum, but for other SaidItors that might want a chat nested in a frame on their site. Or maybe after a Movim instance is up (with forum and chat) folks could utilize that too. Chat is not a priority for me, as we already have one.

Placeholder.

Might have been something about discipline and consequences. Was on the tip of my brain, but the harder I look the more elusive it slips. I forget now. Damn.

Tags

As I understand it, Lemmy does not have subs or metatags. Simple enough if you just make a comment including all the hashtags you like. The OP and the OP comment with hashtags would match names so you could sort for that if it needed distinguishing because the community could also add hashtags too - and even cancel or correct them.

Why stop there? Tag it #Video, #YouTube, #Length5:42, #1080p, #2023-09-11, etc. And I could create a graphic akin to the Pyramid Of Debate, but with a grid of 25 options to "vote" on or label the content using my MetaVote idea. No need for vote ranking with these variables and more (topics), useful for statistics we can use for our own purposes. With a good search engine with useful features you could do research and/or sort content as you see fit.

Extremely accurate.
Unless it's a creative social freedom project.
