      Not these days. Apple hasn’t launched a new product with the ‘i’ prefix since Steve Jobs was around.

    bro are you just mass-crossposting things from reddit or what? Those camel case titles aren’t really common here, you know.

        Nope. Network effect happens if there’s a network. For that you need an adequate amount of eyes per post so that people can start commenting and discussing stuff with one another.

        Dump in hundreds of copy-posted memes without enlarging the user base and it does exactly the opposite of the network effect: With much more posts per viewer, the viewers are spread thin over the posts which means there are never enough people on one post to actually start a meaningful discussion in the comments.

          But it’s not. U see any ads ? do you want to continue enjoying quality memes once a month instead?

            Spam != Ads.

            If you send someone 100 emails a day, even if you think it’s relevant, it’s still spam even if you’re not advertising anything.

              I’m gonna open source extension and let people configure post frequency, it’s gonna default to 1 per 5 hours which is not a lot. There is also up vote filter - like only repost if post hits 100 for example. Frequency should be fine

        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

        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)

          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

            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.

              Carry on. Ignore my old man grumpy sass.

                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.

                This is all human reviewed posts. Not automatic. Just trying to find a way and bump lemmy userbase count after pigboi messed with reddit mobile browser experience. I don’t want to use reddit anymore. I just want to bring reddit with me

                  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

          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?

                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.

        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
