I'm especially curious about news articles as those have a very short window for when they would be interesting/relevant. As apposed to a meme someone could have saved for years and it will still be funny. Like do you have specific news sites you frequent or RSS feeds or what?

The dream would be that I could sort them into a feedreader and select articles out but that won't happen. Nor would I want a bot doing it either.

Unfortunately, no one else posts so for the meantime, I just have to keep going or let it die.

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat with some of the communities I'm trying to start. But I did it before with a subreddit and it was similar. It was a very very long time of only me posting before other people joined in. But with Lemmy it seems to be going a bit faster at least. I'm sure slowly over time more and more people will join and find their niches. Good luck!
