MODERATORS
If they are, that's good for Lemmy.
Helps with the network effect.
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.
Good point. I didn't think about that.
are you saying that we're not all here commenting, regardless? 😥🥹
Reddit users?
"Network effect."
It's spam.
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
1 post every 5 hours from the same person is a lot...
