Okay, there’s a frustrating backstory that I won’t bore y’all with, but in this case, my Lemmy-mates have suggested that I should share image-content more slowly, rather than do roundups like this.
To explain: I personally hate withholding content when I have a load of some resource to share. I feel like a fraud, an a-hole, a userer, and all that stuff…
Yet I’ve been told repeatedly that it’s better to just (in my words, ‘act like a drone’) drip the content, and yes, it’s not hard to see the logistical point, but… bah.
I guess, end of the day, I always like to include something interesting about my posts, and it would be harder to do that via the “drip” posting method, which… pretty much circles back to why I post the way I do, which is to aim for roundups.
Bah… Baa-Ram-Ewe!
I prefer the drip-feed as a regular user. Seeing a big influx of posts in one day from a community I follow tends to drown out other communities I follow, and feels intimidating. I’ve currently signed up to see bunnies, owls, foxes, and snakes. If I see mostly snakes at the expense of foxes, owls, and bunnies I’m not going to be too thrilled. (In practice, this doesn’t happen, [email protected] isn’t that active, if you like snakes please post! I do whenever I run across some pleasing snake content in my regular internet browsing, maybe I should put more effort into explicitly finding snake and fox stuff again…)
I am more willing to let it go if I followed some giant community with lots of subscribers, because what did I expect, a big community is going to have lots of people wanting to post stuff. But if it is a small niche…
As a poster trying to keep Lemmy active and as a mod, I find things in bursts. So I break them up with https://schedule.lemmings.world/. Post one thing right now, do all the rest on that scheduler so they come out a couple days from now. That way I still get to “post” all at once—just into the scheduler, which will actually submit the posts in a more spaced out manner for me.
