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
Just a measure to make sure this stays a human zone and not bots spamming everyones post feeds for all the different communities without any sort of curation
Yeah, I don’t mind the bots pulling stuff over in an effort to generate a bit of a network effect, but I deleted my comment after I realized my entire home screen is filled with this guy‘s posts.
I spoke prematurely and for that apologies. Some moderation discussion def needed and it seems they understand.
The problem is that Reddit is many orders of magnitude larger than Lemmy. r/comics has 1.5 mio weekly visitors. All of Lemmy combined has just ~50k monthly visitors.
One repost bot alone can swamp all of Lemmy, totally drowning out everything else. The biggest issue there is that it’s dead content. The thing that makes something like Reddit or Lemmy better than just a random webcomics feed is the comments. So if a ton of non-organic content gets reposted, that dilutes the comments too much meaning that people don’t actually see eachother’s comments any more and thus no discussions happen.
Git is a tool originally developed by Linus Torvalds himself. Github is one platform of many that uses Git. Similar to Gitlab, Bitbucket, Codeberg or Gitea. You can also directly use git without a platform around that.
As a developer you really should know that. That’s basics.
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.
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

Carry on. Ignore my old man grumpy sass.

This is all human reviewed posts. Not automatic.
It’s a slow process. Can’t be forced. Have watched many things come and go over my life.
What you’re doing helps, just needs fine tuned. You know that it seems. I appreciate you.
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
I’ll add it. I’m just testing now.
Even better, use a Redlib instance instead of old.reddit
Git? Like Microsoft GitHub? Why give Microsoft traffic?

Don’t need to know stuff to input prompts.
Not saying for sure that is what’s happening here, but not knowing about git is…curious.
Yeah, I had the same thought as well…
He means to ask if you tool is open sourced. If so, he wanted to look at the code
There’s other guy forges than GitHub. Like gitlab, codeberg, etc…
There are less than 8k MAUs in this community, it doesn’t need a firehose of memes from elsewhere.
Ok. Duly noted. Again I was just testing something.

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.

because when I wrote the above comment, around 80% or 90% of my lemmy homepage was just your posts, which felt kinda spammy
I think that might change.
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
