Community outreach

How to tell people about UDT without looking like spam. Ready-to-paste posts: PROMOTION_EN.md and PROMOTION_CN.md. Directory listings: SUBMISSIONS.md.

What actually moves stars

GitHub ranks by stars. A visitor who sees a real screenshot, a 30-second trailer, and "no Vantage / no account" in the first screen is more likely to star than one who has to scroll past architecture notes.

Do this, in order:

  1. Keep README.md / README_zh-hans.md current (screenshot, trailer, install, honest limits).
  2. Post once per community, as a user, with a real model name.
  3. Submit to directories in SUBMISSIONS.md after the post has replies, not the same hour.
  4. Answer compatibility questions. That thread is the ad.

Do not: buy stars, coordinate mass upvotes, or open duplicate "please star" issues.

Where to post

Place Language Notes
r/LenovoLegion EN Best English fit. Use the Reddit template. Disclose if you maintain the repo.
r/SuggestALaptop, r/thinkpad only if asked EN Do not cold-post; reply when someone wants a Vantage alternative.
V2EX 分享创造 ZH Use the V2EX template. One post. Reply to model questions.
NGA / Chiphell 笔记本版 ZH Same Chinese forum post. Attach the README screenshot, not a phone photo of the screen.
Bilibili ZH Dynamic + README trailer. Link Releases, not a random mirror exe.
HelloGitHub ZH Already submitted (2026-07-05); status in SUBMISSIONS.md.
AlternativeTo EN List as a Lenovo Vantage alternative. Copy is in SUBMISSIONS.md.

Maintainer vs user

  • If you commit to this repo, say so in the first or last line: "I help maintain UDT."
  • If you only use it, "not affiliated" is fine.
  • Never ask a Discord to raid GitHub stars.

After you post

Add a row to the weekly table in SUBMISSIONS.md (Sunday is fine): stars, delta, which post went up. That is how we know what worked.

Weekly star digest (GitHub Actions)

.github/workflows/star-growth.yml runs every Monday 06:00 UTC (or on demand from the Actions tab). It finds or creates one open issue titled "Star Growth Tracker" and posts a comment with stars (and the delta since the previous comment), forks, watchers, latest release, progress to 1,000 stars, and the next outreach step for the current phase. It has issues: write permission only and never commits. Disable it from Actions -> "Star Growth Tracker" -> "Disable workflow".
