Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

I’m relatively new here, the only negative thing I notice is mods/creators reposting the same stuff every ~6-24 hours to make it ‘seem’ like there is more activity, which I think backfires more than not.
If you mean the "how is your day going so far" type of posts, I don't think those are meant to be deceptive so much as to generate engagement by placing the post into people's subscribed feeds.
But if you mean the same identical post, that's not great - perhaps you want to unsubscribe from communities that do or even allow such practices.
I love the little personal threads. Im not sure if they exist on other platforms but its one of my favourite things about lemmy so far.
Yes I really like that too, it's something that's unusual on social media and is really nice. Gives a sense of community
Oh, I haven’t noticed that.

Are you sure you arent seeing posts of the same community being hosted from other instances? Ive been here a while and havent seen any reposting withing the same community of the same instance.

Very possible, I have not dug in on this, just a vibe.
