I’m gonna open source extension and let people configure post frequency, it’s gonna default to 1 per 5 hours which is not a lot. There is also up vote filter - like only repost if post hits 100 for example. Frequency should be fine
Nope. Network effect happens if there’s a network. For that you need an adequate amount of eyes per post so that people can start commenting and discussing stuff with one another.
Dump in hundreds of copy-posted memes without enlarging the user base and it does exactly the opposite of the network effect: With much more posts per viewer, the viewers are spread thin over the posts which means there are never enough people on one post to actually start a meaningful discussion in the comments.
Notably the section that says 75% of recent content should be human created not automatic and accounts with automation should be marked as such
It tends to make each individual post do worse as well when theyre spammed like this at once
edit: Just saying this here for transparency, I removed half of the posts so that theres 9 now instead of 19. Leaving the rest this time but if theres more feed spam I would be reducing that to match the guidelines more instead of leaving a bunch like here (mods of the community can determine whether to handle this batch more but this clears up the general instance feeds)
that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at
just space things out so youre not doing more than a couple a day here and dont just copy titles and stuff 1 for 1
Ok. Duly noted. Again I was just testing something.
You think 8k MAU is a chicken and an egg problem though? It seems like like there is no content so there are no users - I’m just trying to fix that is that ok if we bump lemmy userbase?
When the original content is from is less important than when it’s posted here. Lemmys sorting algorithm isn’t very smart. When all of the posts are made in a batch it shows them all together. I don’t want to see pages of 90% one community.
Once a day the top post from reddit? Great, I’m cool with that. 30 random ass posts from 2 days worth of reddit all within 20 minutes? Annoying as shit, awful. Don’t do that.
@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com let’s agree to disagree. If I sub to something I want to see new content every time I refresh lemmy, right now feeds are completely static it seems.

bro are you just mass-crossposting things from reddit or what? Those camel case titles aren’t really common here, you know.
If they are, that’s good for Lemmy.
Helps with the network effect.
“Network effect.”
It’s spam.
But it’s not. U see any ads ? do you want to continue enjoying quality memes once a month instead?
Spam != Ads.
If you send someone 100 emails a day, even if you think it’s relevant, it’s still spam even if you’re not advertising anything.

1 post every 5 hours from the same person is a lot…

Good point. I didn’t think about that.
Yeah I’m testing new reposting tool. Why
When posting in communities in the instance please follow the automation guidelines (Section 2 and 3 match the most) https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Hey. My bad I was testing something. This was not automatic though. There is approval moderation queue and posts are all human reviewed
that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at

There are less than 8k MAUs in this community, it doesn’t need a firehose of memes from elsewhere.

At least space the posts out. No more than 1 per hour. And even then that gets annoying when one community is dominated by one poster.
Even that may be too much. If my limited feed is full of memes, I’ll unsubscribe.
is 10 posts too much for lemmy? Also yes there is a cap automated postings in there.

Add a source link toward old.reddit. Even if reddit is terrible, we shouldn’t stoop as low as not giving proper attribution.
Also send git :3
Git? Like Microsoft GitHub? Why give Microsoft traffic?
