For a while the Mahoro-chan bot has been posting titles, but they're often not well upvoted or viewed and seem potentially more spammy among the titles that individuals are posting themselves out of interest. The bot was fine when this community was still pretty low on subscriber count but I'm thinking it might be past that time as engagement has gone up, and there were already other voiced concerns from members that even individual manga discussion posts were spammy.
I'm not a moderator anyhow so we'd either have to contact the bot creator (mentioned in the bot's profile) or have a moderator do so depending on the decision.
Edit: I think @man_zonder_poespas summed up what I was thinking in a much better and concise manner in his comment:
"Personally I like the idea that the chapter is posted by a fan of the series so that they’re relatively likely to respond to comments on the chapter. Y’know, have the idea that at least one person is invested in the thing being posted."
I know we have engagement issues due to being new and very limited in size or if people are being scared off by just discussion posts. I do think that the larger the community, the better the chances of more discussion and more non-chapter posts since lurkers are always a majority.
Having some sort of pinned discussion posts as others have wanted, or a pinned awareness post to help drive more engagement I think would also at least be a sign for newcomers.
At the moment, the source code of the bot seems to look at only mangaplus and takes some sort of catalogue of what might be at the top of the release day, which often includes some less popular releases at the moment. This does miss out on a lot of other popular titles that aren't mangaplus, though of course new bots could be brought in to fix this.
I do agree that not having a super timely bot to post immediately upon a popular title drop release can result in some missed comments, but I actually think that the majority of user posts here so far are fairly timely. I don't speak for everyone but I used to actually use r/manga for all my updates rather than an aggregator or tracking site since I liked seeing the discussions at the same time, so it wasn't as paramount for me that the posts were immediate upon availability.
This comment here and that I've also added to the body of the main post I think better sums up my original post's intention as well as to what I think could help with actual user engagement. Having chapters being posted by one actually invested person could give way to better engagement.
What I don't understand is that the post must be up inmediatly or else some people will miss the conversation. Why? People can still comment on it after having read it and it being posted hours later doesn't make people not want to talk about it.
