I make a lot of OC videos to post here on Lemmy. I’m on Nobara, which is currently on Fedora 39. I’m like an intermediate Linux user and mostly have experience with Debian. All of that being said, I’m up at odd hours.
If someone can help me figure out how to make a script to post a video to Lemmy when people are actually awake, that would be fantastic. It could be a lot, I know. I have no idea how to start here. It’d likely need a giant script, and API access along with possible sudo permissions.
I haven’t been a developer since ~2002 and even then it was only Java web stuff. So, while I might understand things with some guidance I can no longer really get things like this running by myself.
If anyone has info or guidance on how to get this done, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m trying to get automatic uploads to at least catbox.moe, and if possible YouTube (though I know that is unlikely).
I know this is an odd one, but I know you all (if anyone) have the technical set to help me out here. I’ll answer any questions I can!
The land, and thus the population of the earth aren’t distrubuted equally across the globe. This causes a day-night cycle for online communities, despite being international, just due to the fact that the majority of humans live somewhat close together on a global scale.
That’s true, I hadn’t thought of that. So the optimal time to get the most people waking up to your content is about 01:30 UTC for India waking up from 7am (UTC+5:30), or 23:00 UTC for China at UTC+8!

If there really is an equal distribution of users across the globe, yes. But you also need to consider that most users here are probably from Europe or north america, but I’m not sure about that.
Yeah, and there’s no way to know.
Not without asking all instances to pile together the IPs that access them, I suppose. But there are ways to make educated guesses, like using polls and interpolating that data.
