If you're looking for legitimate things to extend the site: an automated tweet/telegram/youtube/whatever collector. Too many lolcows delete shit 5 minutes after the tweet and if a user wasn't around to literally screen shot it the thing is gone forever. Let users of the site handle adding lolcow info by only allowing people who meet a arbitrary amount of time and activity on the site, also i'd probably set it so users had to have a cookie to even view the service as well . First the personality gets an entry then the various services appended to it and resource manage the service by allowing people on KF without a sub to only add like 1 or 3 people and subs like 25. If the user/lolcow doesn't have activity after a certain amount of time it auto-culls out of the service. Go a step further and make a hook on Xenforo so you can just embed on the site an archived tweet or whatever from the service. It should be relatively easy to slam together with the $200 credits, Nitter/Teapot's codebase is well understood by AI and Telegram's API are open source, youtube could be handled by yt-dlp. The only real gotcha would be sourcing a decent amount of Twitter accounts to handle the workload. Frankly archiving has become less common by the users here and maybe lowering the threshold a bit to doing the job may induce more people to participate.
