Background

Hello! I am the maintainer of @[email protected]. Shinobu is the [email protected] community bot responsible for posting episode discussion threads whenever new anime episodes air (example).

The goal of the above survey is to begin the process of establishing a community consensus for how Shinobu should be updated in order to best fit the needs of our community. The content of the survey is based upon the comments and suggestions fielded from this recent discussion on the topic.

Please note that the survey is planned to run until October 16th @ 12:00PM EDT. My goal is to honor the results of the poll however they may turn out, granted that the aforementioned results are accepted as reasonable and legitimate by the community at large.

As always, thanks for being a member of the community and doing your part to make it special! ❤️

How about a way to request the bot to create a post if it stopped (e.g. due to no one participating in previous episodes)? It would both lower the barrier of entry for people who want to talk about an episode and keep the post format consistent.

I'll refrain from talking specifics until the poll closes since the ideal solution is going to vary a fair amount depending upon the exact curation methodology, but I basically agree with what you're saying here.

There will definitely be some feature for this, though -- depending on the goal order established in the survey -- it is possible that the feature won't be ready at day one. For what it's worth, I will be sharing a proposed roadmap with the community long before anything gets written in stone. Goal #1 is ensuring that the entire pipeline is as fully aligned as possible with what the community finds valuable.
