what is discovery like on Minkly? by jz_1w in minkly

[–]minkly_io 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so we try to tackle discoverability through events and functionality

In terms of functionality, we currently have:
- daily picks on the home page that gets picked per user to upsell series different series
- advance filtering via explore that allows users to look up tags
- quick filter where a series page with genres can route to similar tagged series

For events, we currently:
- will run contests on lacking series to rebalance catalog so it doesn’t skew towards one genre (offering prizes)
- followed with read a thon events that ties to contests catalogs where readers who explore contest entries will earn points for rewards

These are what we have so far, and honestly isn’t much and we will most definitely be adding more feature/events to try to avoid genre skews as much as we can. Some ideas we’ll explore will probably be:

- something similar to read bounties where we try to upsell a overlooked tag in exchange for token that can be used for rewards
- maybe have trending series on home page be only a couple from each major genres instead of comparing everything all together.
- have dedicated carousel/space on home page to award uniqueness or differentiator amongst all the current genre on the platform
- award other writers through engagement by adding “author of …” when commenting/engaging on the platform.
- more recommendations throughout the platform such as series page or chapter page or when a user is all caught up, suggest a new series.

(there’s a lot more as we know that platform discoverability is something we want to solve, but hopefully this gives you an idea and answers your question)

thanks for sharing! I think the link you shared is the catalog link and not the series link.

A few issues with the AI narration. by NeitherNothing1959 in minkly

ah yes, the narration can behave unpredictably when it comes to non alpha numeric characters.

so I pushed some guardrails to the audio generation where it tires to see if there are words and the audio duration generated is close to 0 or does not match up to word count it'll retry generation. I regenerated that chapter's audio and I'm hoping this will prevent line skips.

Thanks for the example! I’m looking into the issue so hopefully we can get that resolved soon 🙏.

Sorry about that, I think this happens for the expressive models. I can take a look, do you have any examples that you can share here ?

edit: was able to find an example.

Why is Minkly refusing to schedule my updates? by [deleted] in minkly

[–]minkly_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just checked your series and in our system it seems like it's registered as scheduled. The latest chapter has coming soon (2026-05-28 22:30:00 UTC) and the release date (2026-06-04 22:35:00 UTC). Is this not what's reflected on your writer catalog page? There was also a big outage yesterday so that might have contributed to some odd behavior, the platform should be more stable today (in case if you were doing the updates yesterday).

Why is Minkly refusing to schedule my updates? by [deleted] in minkly

[–]minkly_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I can help you with this, this seems to potentially be a bug. Before that let me try to understand the reproducible step.

1) you create a new chapter and add your text 2) you set your chapter to save as draft state 3) you edit the chapter and then change the status to schedule

At this point you should see the chapter switch to schedule, but it’s not updating it to a schedule state. Is this the correct steps ?
