It sounds like you are looking for a server that is ripe for bot abuse. What time frame did the admin say not more than 5 posts. I would tend to think they mean 5 posts a day which sounds completely reasonable to be for an upper limit on posts per day into a single sub.

Yes, The time frame is per day.
Here is the reason I don’t support that limit:
From my experience in moderating the technology community at my main account, no one will post on my new community for very very long time.
How will news community for example survive on 5 news posts daily? As I said it will be granted to fail if it did not contain useful news posts that cover wide amount of topics.

Plenty of communities survive with 5 posts per user daily

More than 5 posts would raise the likelihood of people blocking that instance because of spam. Less is more.

As long as they’re not back to back I don’t mind. But what I HATE is people that spam out like 30 posts in one go. I don’t want an entire page to be posts from one person/community.
I especially hate it when it’s the exact same link, but different communities (shouldn’t be an issue for OP, but I hate that shit). Lemmy really needs to fix that. I don’t mind people cross posting 30 times, but I only want to see the same link once per page.

You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.
I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

“Surving” != “Thriving”.
A couple of years ago, I noticed that the front page of HackerNews was consistently getting links from Mastodon posts. That was interesting because it showed that at least one significant part of the tech conversation had moved away from Twitter and into the Fediverse.
No such thing has happened for Lemmy. There is no particular community which is thriving. There is no example of subreddit community that had successfully boycotted Reddit and transplanted here. We have the usual handful of posters, each one trying to maintain their communities “alive”, but that is far from its true potential.

!fediverse@lemmy.world is much more active than /r/fediverse

I don’t dislike the Adam’s Family nor the Munsters, but I have blocked both communities because they each had a ton of submissions on the same day, and they were dominating my feed.
There’s nothing wrong with slowly submitting content. Submitting too much, too quickly makes it hard to distinguish from spam.
Just my opinion. I understand that you are looking to build something, and therefore you probably disagree on submission frequency.

I love eevee and its eeveeloutions, but the eevee community is spammy AF. I unsubscribed after a couple days. I am getting close to blocking it altogether.
I mod the women’s hockey community on OP’s instance, and post the results of all games (this past season there were only 6 teams so not a lot), but if there are two games in a day I try and put at least 6 hours between the posts so not to spam.

I suppose it depends on the purpose of the community. Narrowly defined communities like eeveelutions or The Addams Family don't really justify a glut of content in an hour.

First time I hear about Eevee community. Is it !Eevee@pawb.social ?
