I’ll just leave the question at that, because I can’t even speculate.
i mostly post because i get feedback on the stuff that i post about. so i learn something new too.
I mean some folks are trying to get communities going.
I want there to be women’s sports content on the threadiverse, so I put it there. I’m a bit “if you build it, they will come” about it.
I’m more on the fact that “it’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great!”
"We do this, not because it is easy…
…but because we thought it would be easy."
The hard is what makes it great!
My wife agrees.
Can confirm
You rascal
Don’t even think of approaching his wife unless you’re already hard.
“it’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great!”
Sir, this is not a NSFW community.
Have you seen [email protected] ? It has a strong emphasis on women’s sports.
That’s where I put all my wnba stuff
It’s a better place than sharing WNBA with DonaldJMusk
Which is tough. I tend towards more fine-grained communities – there are posts that belong in [email protected] that don’t belong in [email protected] , and posts that belong in [email protected] that don’t belong in [email protected] – and I’d prefer to post in a women’s basketball specific community rather than a general sports dumping ground. I’ve at various points considered setting up a women’s basketball community, but then I get stuck shaving the yak of reorganizing all my communities and moving them off lemmy.world and choose inaction instead.
I don’t blame you and I appreciate you
I post a lot of environmental content, because I don’t just want to read on repeat about the shitty thing Donald Trump said today.
I want to see more content on the fediverse in general. If I’m not willing to feed the machine, how can I expect others to?
Maybe they just like doing it. There’s no total karma count, and shills are quickly terminated on sight here, so selling a high karmic account to advertisers isn’t a thing.
What I hate is when a user who has been on the site for years but has next to no posts or comments just whining about prolific posters. Bruh if you hate what the people who actually post are posting, post your own shit. Bitching about it just makes them look like an entitled douchenozzle who thinks everything has to cater to their specific desires.
And just to be clear: this isn’t directed toward you, OP.
How does for shits and giggles sound to you?
Sometimes I post nothing in a long time and just lurk, other days I upload funny pictures.
We’re trying to build up the fediverse so more people are interested in participating.
I want see more local news, feminism, and alternative/punk music. Be the change you want to see and all that.
I post a lot of political comments, because I want to do my part to influence as many people as possible to my side. Propaganda, that’s one reason why I’m here.
I have the same question for all the accounts who post a lot of the most stupid questions (usually in AskLemmy), seldom comment, and delete their posts if the votes become negative. Are they confused teenagers, bots, what the fuck are they?
Like that one a few minutes ago: [email protected] wondered whether an AI program was “literally” the same as a person before their death.
WHY?
Don Dickle comes to mind. Guy treats this place like his personal search engine. If you read his bio, it says multiple people share the account.
Asklemmy is content, ngl. Some of the most unhinged stuff gets posted on there.
I was replying to that one when it was deleted.
Well is it?
We’re all here because we left various other social medias for the fediverse. Most of us have some communities we miss from wherever we came from. I miss seeing Dead by Daylight news and memes, so when someone made a Dead by Daylight comm I made an active choice to try and be a poster there, and committed to posting daily for a week, I may have done daily longer don’t remember, but I tried.
Lots of comms start with one person posting, and then die the same way, so I felt like to go anywhere the Dead By Daylight comm needed more than the owner posting. That comm still ended up dying, but once you have enough posters to attract new ones more naturally you’re set, and can enjoy the community you helped create.
You can also change comm culture for the better. On an alt I started posting in one of the nsfw comms because I felt the posts there weren’t all they could be. Even posting a few great posts can make other posters feel like they should put a bit more effort into their own, and that effort paid off really fast.
I think that the primary driver behind people posting daily is to try and change this space for the better, whatever that looks like to them. Whether it’s making new comms, attracting new posters, or trying to change comm cultures lots of good reasons to post more here if you have the motivation.
I post between 3 and 5 a day. Is that ‘many’?
I am the mod of the sub that I post in. I didn’t expect to be the mod: the original mod has dropped off the radar, leaving me there. Since the I am only mod, I kinda think that I shouldn’t just leave it to die - and I like to keep up with the news in that field anyway, so…
I spent over 15 years on reddit and got over one million karma through shit-commenting. I’m still chasing that juicy karma, even if it doesn’t exist.
12 years, a million karma. Permabanned in the Inauguration Bloodbath.
Same, I had just topped 1 million when I was banned. Mostly comment karma, too.
I post here more than I did there, just when I think of something, but some people post 20, 30 times a day, and without karma or some potential way to sell the account or however that worked on Reddit, I wondered why.
I’ve got news bud… Karma wasn’t real on Reddit either. Sorry to disappoint.
It was more real than you are, chuckles.
A lot of people are making comments like “to boost Lemmy’s popularity/value”, but I wonder if making a lot of posts with relatively few comments is counterproductive?
Like, if I see a community where the top 20 posts have no comments, I’m reluctant to post or comment there because it doesn’t seem to have an engaged community. A community where the top posts all have long comment threads seems more inviting, even if the top posts go back two weeks instead of two hours.
I wonder if making a lot of posts with relatively few comments is counterproductive?
I think the bot accounts that repost everything from a subreddit or the like are definitely counterproductive and don’t encourage participation. It’s like walking into a room of robots beeping at each other. They’re probably my biggest pet peeve here.
This is also why I end up posting in communities that aren’t necessarily hosted on my own instance. They’re more populated and that encourages more participation.

Bots.

Terminally online and need to get a job, or at least a hobby.

Stuck at computer job all day and posting while on phone calls is pretty easy (my situation).
It is a hobby

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime while posting on company time.

If you’re talking about the accounts that just spam articles for a couple months and disappear…
There’s a single person who’s been doing it at least since the reddit migration 3 years ago, but I feel like it was already a thing before that.
I have no idea what the original ban was for, but all those accounts eventually get banned for being an alt of that account.
Afterwards they just make a dozen new accounts and keep doing it.
It’s super weird, and I almost asked this morning actually when I saw a batch had been banned and new ones were already up.
But I know the person wouldn’t answer.
Edit:

That batch from 15 hours ago for reference
I guess this is what I mean. I didn’t look into it before I asked.
