Does anyone want to see sysadmin blogs/guides posted here? I used to check sysadminblogs but the quality of content used to vary a lot. Would this be helpful or just clutter the feed?

Maybe we could do blog post days?

I like the idea of seeing a decent amount of content, but fear that it could lead to too many blog posts if left unchecked.

I agree with this. Would be totally up for seeing this sort of content on here, just as long as it didn't flood the feed.

I don’t have a problem with it. I have a problem when it becomes spammy. Overall it’s neat to see things that people are working on and problems they’re solving. A lot of times it gives me ideas for how to solve other problems or fun things to setup in my lab

I think its fine if its not spammy and it provides some value information/insight.

I'm not sure if/when tagging/flair will be added to Lemmy, but it would be useful for filtering out types of content posted to communities.

If it's your own, I don't think it's a problem unless it's bland self-promotion (looking at you, adamtheautomator). As long as it's spaced out enough that you're not flooding people's feeds.

If it's sharing other people's content, I don't think it matters, again unless you're flooding the feed.

To be fair, adatheautomator's blogs have helped me a fair bit for PowerShell

We should have a day for it, means I can discover new blogs to actually RSS to.

I’m in favor of it. Not sure if Lemmy has a sidebar like Reddit but it would be fun to Index the blog posts that are posted in the sidebar ad kinda a home grown directory. Whenever a blog is posted it’s super hit or miss with me but that’s due to being in the industry over 20 years. What’s old is new or something. I still appreciate seeing the posts.
