    I’m feeling a bit burnt out lately. I’m having fun running the Owl of the Year tournament again, but I’m a little tired of making regular posts at the moment.

    A lot of stressful things are going on in my personal life, so I don’t know if that’s it, or if I just need a break from the specific content, or what. Maybe I’m just complaining to burn off some anxiety.

    But out of my frustration and reading the post from the person in the journaling community, it got me thinking about something like a Post Exchange Program.

    Either in Fedigrow or a separate comm, one person could submit a request let’s say.

    Community: Superbowl@lemmy.world
    Posts Requested: 1
    Subject: Any

    One of you guys with your own community could reply with a trade.

    Bun Alert System
    Subject: Funny

    And you could accept or pass on a post swap.

    I thought it could get a fresh set of ideas into some of the communities, and if there was a kind of content I wanted but didn’t have the time or knowledge, maybe someone seeing a want ad would be motivated to post.

    I wouldn’t mind learning about some other topics that I could research occasionally. Even if it’s just find a pic you think is cool or funny, you would bring in what someone other than just yourself thinks is good all the time.

    This is just like 15 minutes of thinking about it, but if anyone feels this is worth pursuing, maybe we can refine something.

    It may even just be easier if some of us could partner up with other people we like their work or a subject we’re interested in. Even if they aren’t people that frequent Fedigrow, if a few of us or says let’s pick one community a week and as a group we each toss a post or two to that community during the week.

    I think a lot of us are doing the best a single person can do in there own and maybe some organized collabs could take some of these things to the next level.

    Thoughts?

      Lord-a-mighty, whaaaat?

      Maître des hiboux, I’ve never seen near-anyroad what you’ve accomplished so far across almost ANY venue. I find it astonishing, frankly…

      Hey, just wanted to say your posts lighten up me and my partner’s day. I always send the threads to her so she can take a break from work and look at the cute or funny owls.

      She really loves the posts but she doesn’t have an account so she will never engage with the content I’m afraid. So let me say it here and now: thank you for making our day better :)

        As long as the message is getting out and people are having fun, that’s all I want to see!

        I’m always glad to hear the posts make you guys happy. There’s less and less content I end up engaging with as we all get more frustrated with a lot of current events, and I am glad that the people sharing that stuff are keeping us informed, but it does get to be a lot.

        I try to always give you something happy or hopeful to keep your spirits up. I’m very glad to hear I’m still having success in that! I appreciate all of you!
