No Stupid Questions

You can use lemmy everyday and post everyday if you want to

There is no “too active”. Participate genuinely in discourse, and don’t be a spambot or clickbait poster. I think that’s really all anyone wants, regardless of if it’s Lemmy or another service.

As someone that’s been here a while, Lemmy a few years ago used to be a once-a-week thing because there wasn’t that much content. Now I have no problems using it multiple times a day and always see new stuff.

So, engage at the level you’d like to, and know that your engagement is driving others to consume and participate also.

The biggest key is the quality of posting. If you're posting a fuck ton, but it's amazing content that fits the community and does well then yeah it's great. If you're just reposting memes from other communities or straight up trolling then that shit gets annoying real fast.

I'm here practically all day, every day. This is my home. Please pick up after yourself and respect my house.

A lot of the Lemmy posts I see are from a few very active posters, and more is always welcome as long as it's interesting stuff. I'm one of those people that wants Lemmy to be 10x it's current size though, there are definitely the other kind here but yeah in my opinion push for exponential growth any way you can if you have the energy for it.

I think it depends a lot on the community and what you're posting.

But in general, if you're posting good quality, relevant content and not just spamming with every article you come across, engaging with people in the comments, not x-posting things to a bunch of different communities, and of course not being a dick, I don't think there's an issue.

I don't think there's an upper limit as long as you're posting cool stuff. I'm sure a mod will tell you if you're pushing it (highly unlikely).

go for it, seeing other heavy posters makes me feel less of a weirdo 😁

I would like more content around here so moar posts please! Lol

I've blocked a couple bots that post seemingly every article from specific sites. It's too bad because some of those articles were worth reading, but it was too much in my home feed, so they're gone.

People sometimes get annoyed if its an overwheming amount posted at once, in one place but generally you're fine. If you want a rough guideline, I'd say to keep it to three posts per community per day, unless its busy enough that you can blend in to the crowd.

That said, unless its against the rules, you can also just ignore the people whining. Even downvotes don't matter as much here as on Reddit.

Post as much as you want.

That is the whole point of the place.

I just repost old memes I've saved over the years when I have the time and I'm at my PC. Post what you want!

I've only seen you post once, and I'm already annoyed. /s

Post and comment as much as you'd like. Have fun!

There is no real constraint so long as you're contributing.

You can still annoy people even if you only ever post exactly one time.

Make sure you don't go for a walk more than once per week or you might get too healthy.

More seriously, I've noticed that my mental health is better on days when I'm not on Lemmy. Browsing and participating on its own is not a problem, but mindlessly scrolling all day when other tasks need to be done is. I have a few tricks that occasionally work.

Leave your phone on the other side of the room when you sleep. You'll have to get out of bed before picking up the phone, so is easier to not start mindlessly scrolling.

Set an end time for Lemmy and pick a different, more relaxing task at least an hour before going to bed. Social media is not conducive to sleep.

Other than that, I haven't had any issues with people posting too much content. As long as you're respectful and willing to change if someone complains, you'll fit in fine here.

If peeps tell you to make an account on hexbear and start posting from there, it's a sign.

I think the more posts the better as it helps to keep building momentum and fresh content.

This is heavily dependent on the community and what you post. In general, more content is going to be good for all of us, so post away. There are some power posters here with agendas who are annoying AF, but I've blocked the ones I've noticed and no longer see their content. Some have been banned across instances.

You do you, boo.

My name is Snot Flickerman and I am a serial commenter. If you see me around be nice to me and pity me for my problem. If I annoy you I don't know what to tell you.

I'd say so long as you are meeting your responsibilities in real life, go ahead and post. If you flood people's feed, they can just filter the noise out. I'd still suggest you go and do something else outside of the Internet, but that's my suggestion to everyone.

This can be applied generally to any activity, but when interacting with Lemmy starts making you feel anxious or upset, then it's too much. It's OK to spend a lot of time online, just make sure to take care of your mental health!

..me..

if it's you posting then it will be just fine. if it's a bot posting then its too much and not organic and most people wont engage with a robot as people that hangout in new want to engage with OP.

browsing local-all by new is one thing

browsing true all by new is beyond the pale

Always follow the middle path and then...BOOM!...you're a Buddhist as well.

That's too much for your own mental health.

Just keep in mind that there are already plenty of political posters.

You'll become a microwave, an ICQ flower, or a name in boxed letters :)

When you’ve been hired to manipulate public opinion. Seriously get a real job.

I had a reddit addiction very bad and im trying to replace it with lemmy....

Have you considered switching to something safer? Maybe heroin?
