Good to hear. I had to filter out all the @alien.top threads at some point after I accidently replied to one thread here instead of reddit and my reply was not seen by the author requesting help.

Maybe. Maybe not. A number of posts (@alien.top) are just re-posting reddit.

Could it be that setq cursor-type is not respected by org-mode?

Org mode does not change cursor type in Org buffers. I recommend checking your hooks.

There are also habits where you can do the habit at least every X-Y days: https://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html But that’s a bit different use-case.

Check out https://orgmode.org/manual/Matching-tags-and-properties.html. You can have a match like DATE_FINISHED>=“<2023-01-01>”+DATE_FINISHED<“<2024-01-01>”. Or you can use regexp match DATE_FINISHED={2023}

Full post. Not everyone is reading every single comment. Even in that weekly tips thread.

AFAIK, tecosaur is much more fediverse-friendly person. Also, /r/emacs participated in reddit blackout, so there is a good chance that its mods will be interested. Finally, instead of asking moderators, you may also ask the community by creating a post on reddit - it is the community who will be interested or annoyed by the bot you propose.

You can try contacting /r/orgmode mods. Like https://old.reddit.com/user/tecosaur or https://old.reddit.com/user/github-alphapapa

IMHO, there is little point posting links if we cannot get the actual discussion going in the comments. Without discussion, you will simply turn communick.news into another https://planet.emacslife.com/.

For self posts, it is particularly important. The whole point of having the package/blog post author around is to ask her questions and get actual comment replies.

One striking difference between reddit and here so far is absence of non-link posts. On reddit, people often ask questions and get useful responses. No so much here, for now. Part of the problem might be that experienced users whom you invited (AFAIU) are less likely to ask things in general forum.
