Comment on How often should moderators post to grow a community?

I’d say, post as often as you can be bothered and make interesting content. I rarely pay attention to the username beside a post, so I’m unlikely to judge that it’s the same person who posts 99% of posts in a less popular community. But if I see lots of examples of posts on a topic, it’s easier for me to remember about it and think “I’ll post there”.

Some clients go out of their way to mark posts by a moderator in some way, though. Alexandrite makes their username bright green an bold, for instance.
I wonder what portion of users are turned off by stepping into a community and discovering that basically every post is from its only moderator, and thus feel that whatever-it-is is probably just that individual’s personal hobby horse.
Not that I’d know, or anything…

lel I declined to be a mod on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world for exactly that reason. I hope it helps people see it’s not just mods.
