Hey !greenspace -

Tomorrow (Monday) evening I'll be giving a talk at my local library about biochar; last month I gave one about composting. I record these and post them on my yt channel, in part so the library's website can link to the science talks they've hosted. Are events like these something the community would be interested in?

Please let me know how you all feel about this - I know I sometimes post about aspects of my nursery business but do my best to not self-promote in this space.

More broadly, what are folks' expectations for those posting videos of their gardens or other original works? Are there some guidelines we can agree on as a community so folks feel more encouraged and confident in posting about what's growing on with them outside of the weekly post? Personally, I love watching garden tours of other people's spaces during my lunch breaks and would love to feel that connection with those of you who would like to share in that way.

Thank you for your feedback, whatever it may be, and for letting me post pictures of my plants for you all.

My personal feelings on this:

youtube links should be accompanied by links to alternative front ends like piped.video for those who are yt-averse, but that it is okay for the canonical yt link to be included for those who wish to interact with the poster's channel. I think I have a preference for the piped.video link to be the post link and for yt links to be included in the body, but am fine with peertube links being the post link.

If there are accompanying documents, such as the slide deck I'll be using tomorrow evening, those should also be linked - it's my feeling that posts of this nature should be viewed as resources for the community. In my particular case, I'm happy to share both the shared file in my gdrive but also a .pptx file on an accessible filesharing site (especially if there is a consensus on which are most preferable from privacy and accessibility standpoints).

It is an expectation that folks posting their channels or videos engage with the community in other ways as well and are not spammy
