Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to keep things moving and growing, was thinking of doing a daily quantized models post just for keeping up with the bloke, thoughts?

I don't think there's harm in a sticky that contains the latest model releases, I agree that it shouldn't devolve into spamming automated posts, maybe weekly is more appropriate or every X days

I agree overall with your list, the question is just about how do we foster that, and I'm wondering if discussion threads will be a good middle ground until we have a reasonable flow of new posts

Either way I want to keep an eye on it and find a way to help the community grow organically

Well, a summary of recent news / developments is always useful. What about something like aicg on 4chan or just a few lines like ggerganov does with the "Hot topics" on llama.cpp's github page? Of course there's also hundreds of other wikis and maintained pages on rentry.org I'll let someone else suggest a useful format for that.

I don't know how this community came into existence. I believe we're currently mostly expats from r/LocalLlama?? I don't know if people over there know there is this alternative community? Also there is [email protected] which might have substantial overlap with us.

Edit: I hope i don't sound too negative here. I think you/we should just try a few things and see what's good for this community. Maybe have a semi-regular feedback poll or a stickied (monthly) post so people can complain. At this point I'm not sure what's best. If it's too many automated news posts with zero interaction, i can also complain after the fact.

And I appreciate what you're doing here.

Yeah no for sure didn't sound too negative, your concerns are definitely valid

As for whether people on Reddit know about this one, it's likely several don't cut also not sure how well the mods there would take to advertising an alternative, probably best bet is to have some high value posts here that get posted on Reddit for awareness and maybe some people will feel like joining :D
