Hum, I guess that's exactly what's going on. I need to check the docs again. Thanks for the tip!

How do you like it? Care to describe your setup a bit?

My suggestion was to let other people step up so that we can have an actual community instead of being dominated by one loudmouth carrying a boombox.

You had my sympathy in the beginning, but you completely lost it by continuously calling me "Reddit agent". I would report you, but it seems this community has no actual moderators, so I am just going to unsubscribe and find some other place to post.

You are not doing an apples-to-apples comparison. You are reposting anything from Reddit, minus memes and OG. Also, they have millions of users, this community has thousands.

I don't mind reposts from Reddit, and I don't even mind the automated set up. I just think it needs to be toned down a bit so that it gives the chance to others to contribute as well.

I don't want to take anyone's side here, but there is a big gap between "3 posts in 11 months" and "100 posts per day". Maybe if you (and others) stepped up and made the effort to post once every day to a niche community you like, then there would be less of an incentive for sanitation to have automated posting tools?

I am not assuming bot, and I agree that the rest of the community needs to step up - I said so in the post.

What I am saying is that you are flooding the channel. By rushing to post/re-post any content that you find, you also reduce the chances for other people to post as well. Maybe I am the first one to point that to you, but who knows how many other people saw the community page dominated by one single poster and felt discouraged to contribute?

Try cutting it down to one post per day, and I promise I post one link every day as well.

@sanitation@lemmy.today, if you are reading this: can you maybe reduce the automated posts you submit to this community?

I see comments from the account as well, so I'd be on the fence about calling them bots.

I don't mind people having some automation to help a community grow, I just think that maybe the pace could be a brought down a bit?

Doesn't seem an effective approach if I end up filtering out all the fluff that I don't care about.

What, really? Seems crazy to me...

Thanks, I'm just to figure out some things around here. I will help with the communities when I can. What was weird for me is that this community doesn't feel "just getting started", because I get tons of posts in my front page and it seems that most posts have a good number of comments.
