Hi, I’m the maintainer of Decronym. You may have come across Decronym on the aliensite, especially in the spaceflight communities; it picks up on comments that contain acronyms (that are in its database), and drops a helpful top-level comment on the thread that it keeps up to date as more acronyms get used.

Decronym’s now running on Lemmy, here’s a comment it left in /c/spacex a few days ago. There are a few acronyms and other bits of jargon that get thrown around in the selfhosted space: VPS, Plex, Debian and such like… so I wondered if y’all would welcome Decronym making comments in threads here?

If that sounds like a good idea, drop a comment with some acronyms and definitions you’d like Decronym to keep in its database, and I can look into getting it set up. Thanks!

This would be very much appreciated, if possible. I don’t know most of them and it would make reading these past easier for me.

Just running my Plex server on my R710 with a few JBODs with lots of SAS HDDs without RAID.

So yeah Decronym would be awesome. I’ve enjoyed your bot on /r/spacex for the last few years. Glad to see you over here!

Saw someone talking about SoHo yesterday. Took me a bit to figure out what a neighborhood in NYC had to do with anything.
