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?

No.
Any moron can flood a community with content. All it takes is an RSS bot and thirty minutes of free time. Take a look at !fantasyfootballnewswire@lemmy.inbutts.lol. Don’t subscribe to that community on Lemmy or it will drown out all other posts once the NFL goes to training camp.
(Following the community on Mastodon, in its own list, works wonders.)
Maybe ask the community if they want your contribution before whipping it out.
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.
upvotes on this posted content is overwhelmingly positive. Hundreds of upvotes
f I sub to something I want to see new content every time I refresh lemmy,
That’s the problem, lemmy’s algorithms aren’t smart enough to do that. Posts made around the same time tend to show up around each other. Particularly with scaled sorting, hot is a little better, but shows older content. As long as the posts are spaced out per community I don’t think people will find it annoying. But like I said I had 1.5 pages full of just programmer humor posts. Back to back to back. And if I refreshed it didn’t change, because lemmys algorithms are static.
Right now as I go to my default page 6/20 posts are orange cats. In a few hours it will be what other community a cluster of posts it decides to make.
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.

This dude is autoposting orange cats too
