It’s a problem for which I already found kind of a solution, but an open discussion is always appreciated. What happened was me wanting to share a tool to help with breaking down tasks and deciding to search for older posts because it was popular enough. Other people talked about it here long ago and I actually don’t have much more to add besides the desire to share it with those that are not aware of the tool. So, do I create a new publication or add a mostly empty comment to something old?

In this specific case, I could create a topic that’s more generic and more open to be reproduced regularly. I could ask for the tools everyone uses and offer mine, while also pointing to previous publications. This would be positive as it make sure the information is up to date and potentially more organized. And, more importantly, readily available to those that are not actively searching for it.

So what are your thoughts?

note: I’m talking about sharing https://goblin.tools/ if it helps with the context.

it doesn't seem like people use Lemmy search very often, and comments on super old threads don't bump them to the top of the order, so reposting is fine
