      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/

      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

        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

          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

      I like it if it’s curated (manualy selected to be the best of). I remember mass posting things from Digg to Reddit 17 years ago.

        It is curated. I can either manually review and approve or auto post. In his case all was manually curated, human reviewed and approved

        Ok. Duly noted. Again I was just testing something.
        You think 8k may 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?

          You think 8k MAU is a chicken and an egg problem though?

          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.

              I think that was content from last 2 days on reddit - is that too much? Also yes there is a cap automated postings in there.

                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.

                    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.

      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
