Welcome one and all to BestOfLemmy! The goal of this community is “manual curation”. Please post good (or best!!) posts you find around Lemmy, highlighting the discussions, communities, and people that make up the Lemmyverse.
The only real rule is manual curation. That is, if YOU think a post is worth sharing, that’s good enough. Don’t make automatic bots or algorithms (though you can use algorithms to aid you, like search engines or top-of-Lemmy lists… a human decision should be involved in deciding that a post is good enough to highlight).
There’s a lot of engagement when I find truly good posts and post them here. But… I just haven’t had the time to dig around Lemmy and look for the best posts.
Really, the big issue is that my #1 research tool, search-lemmy.com, has seemingly gone off-line for the last few months. So I’ve been discouraged with regards to looking for different good posts to highlight. Hmmm, maybe I’ll make a “meta” topic about finding ideas on how to search for good topics?
