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?

Please don’t make this a place that is just spammed by automatic re-posts of something inconsequential. If i want to know what TheBloke recently published, I can simply go to huggingface and have a look myself. That way i can even filter by ggml/gptq llama1 or 2 and if I’m even interested at all.
That said, if you found a (new) model you like and you have any additional information or your story to offer… Please go ahead. That’s someting i very much like to read.
I personally like to read / discuss:
Maybe guides / tutorials / a wiki or megathread with useful information.
For me, Lemmy is kind of a mix between several things. I like the link-aggregator aspect and like to read news, have blog posts recommended to me. And I (even more) like the forum aspect. Discussing/debating things in the comments and have a community to talk about nerdy stuff. The second thing is why I’m here.
And of course related to LocalLLaMA. As i understand we’re mainly discussing DIY things here, not just what OpenAI offers.
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 !fosai@lemmy.world 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
