Right, here's the plan:

A big problem with FediTips is that the same tips get repeated quite often because not everyone saw them the first time.

Then, if people half-remember a tip they saw on here, or if they want to find out more about a topic, there's no easy way for them to look it up later.

So, I'm going to change the format of this account to be based around a web page:

growyourown.services/an-unoffi

(It forms part of a site I run at growyourown.services to encourage non-technical people to host their own online services.)

I'll gradually add sections to the page covering tips from the past year, and will post updates about it on FediTips as I do so.

Any new tips featured on FediTips will also be added to the page. That way, there's always somewhere people can go to to easily catch up on tips they missed.

Any thoughts on this as a plan? Honest feedback appreciated! :blobcat:

@feditips I don't mind some repeated tips, they don't seem to happen all that often

I see the tips as a circular buffer, just keep posting the next tip when it's time occasionally removing and adding tips to keep the list current

Adding them to a site is also good

Had to redraft as I forgot to actually say thank you for the tips

Thank you! :)
