Yeah, the username is submitted when a successful answer is put in. I’ll leave it like this for a couple of days, see if it gets a bit more engagement if that’s Ok.

I hope it works as expected, difficult to test without a test Lemmy instance.

Hopefully it introduces a level of discussion, I actually quite like looking at the way people get to the same answer via different means.

I should be able to introduce this for the other puzzles, I guess the timing is still a question though - like, it rotates at 00:00 UTC, so I try to stagger the submissions with an hour plus 13 mins, or 17 mins, etc. but I think that will still appear as a “block” of submissions for people coming online in Europe and NA.

I think I struggle to understand a little. Like, if Wordle is posted every day, we’re happy, but if Wordle and Connections is posted by NY Times every day we don’t think they should?

I’m not having a dig, I’m just trying to understand.

Is it because I use the same theme that you think they’re all very similar? Like, they are all maths-based, but they are different.

Does this look better?

If you use your Lemmy username it should @ you the next day as well.

Thoughts? (also, @'ing in Lemmy is not how I thought it would work).

Thank you for this.

I’ve got my thinking cap on.

Maybe allowing people to post their previous days result? Or maybe, a stopwatch counter (so you can post how quickly you did a puzzle)? Because they’re maths based it tends to be a single yes or no, rather than a continuous attempt at finding the answer.

I wonder, if I post every day, but if you use your lemmy username as your name on the game, I’ll include you in the post and your solution for the puzzle from the previous day (you can view yesterdays solutions on the puzzle itself)?

If it’s still not engaging with the above (hopefully I’ll find time this weekend to update), then I could stop the posts/combine them/lower it to weekly or similar.

I’m happy to spruce up the posts a bit, I just wanted to get the games visible so did the bare minimum in marketing I guess.

Sooo, I am the owner of the bot. It only posts to that 1 community, and it’s where most of the traffic the games get comes from.

The games themselves don’t really lean towards sharing your results, it’s more about checking yesterdays solutions to see how you did, so the comments would naturally be fairly low.

i was merely following the other daily posts and decided to automate it rather than do it manually every day.

I think they are now nominated by the HoC, so it’s an indirect election, but not undemocratic.

ever hear of a little thing called the House of Lords?

They lost their hereditary status yesterday 🥳

Renault seem to offer quite a few these days that are fairly small.

…Pretty sure it was offered 20 years ago in Scotland, a friend’s son was doing it.

I’ve just realised I haven’t used anything like that in 20 years. Macromedia Dreamweaver, those were the days!

Rise of the Mandarin-elite?

I’m fairly ignorant of the US, so I read this as:

Republican David Scott, a Georgia Democrat…

and was slightly confused.

UK here, I was definitely the last person renting in my circle, bought a house mid to late 30s. Feels like everyone else bought 10 years before.

Blue jeans, blue blazer and brown shoes is the norm nowadays.

Hear me out…

How do we know it wasn’t a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?

Fair point, well made.

You get that there is a pattern of shitty historical revisionists that bring up “Muslim slavery” to minimize US slavery? Which you just did?

Sorry, you’re going to have to clarify this for me. 1) Which revisionists? 2) Why is “muslim slavery” different to “slavery”? What did I do?

Islam is not a world view, what? It’s a religion that has a long history (that a large part includes slavery).

Europe, as implied by the very first post, was a large part of the North American slave trade. However, the UK effectively ended the African slave trade, the first I believe, long before the US did, which is why I mentioned it.
