Beehaw thinks I should post less though.

There’s like 5 people that are firehoses of content that are keeping lemmy alive.

Beehaw still exists? Didn’t they want to leave Lemmy, like 2 years ago?

They have an instance that doesnt federate with Lemmy.world i think. It works well for them. On my instance I see them sometimes since we federate with everyone.
SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 months ago
How come?
Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
They instanced banned for 3 days for posting frequently outside their jurisdiction.
SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 months ago
Kind of weird but suit themselves I guess

Don’t take it too personaly. In the absence of complex filtering tools instance and community admin have to improvise to keep with their wished éditorial ligne.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I make it a point to post a few articles every day.
Not a firehose, but I’m doing my part.

What I’ve learned is that when you emigrate to the UK, you stop posting on lemmy!

He needs to get his Lemmy Loicence. I should have given him mine.
GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Thank fuck he left

That would explain all the shitposts and memes. 😛

I genuinely worry about Picard Maneuver and Lady Butterfly. What of one of them got hit by a car!?
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Picard Maneuver went and came back. I appreciate their work though, they’re one of the pillars.
I worry about Stamets.

What if they’re bots and we’ve all been fooled?
pseudo@jlai.lu 2 months ago
Nah ! They are at least 8.
1984@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Probably bots.

Yeah they’re doing a huge service to the Fediverse. I’ve had a few times where I saw posts from the same people across totally different communities to the point where I’m wondering if they’re actually interested in all these subjects or just posting for the sake of it.

After a while, it doesn’t even matter. It creates a sense of community, making this place nice for new people to join. So it’s good.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I see a lot of the same people, recognize the names. I argue with some, know I’ll agree with others. I like it. It harkens back to old forum days for me. Reddit may as well be anonymous1 talking to anonymous2, maybe outside of some more niche subs, but here, I can comment on a post about corn and recognize a few of the names who are also commenting.

I certainly can become a problem. Reaching back to Digg, MrBabyMan had way too much power and influence, even though he basically just spammed news articles 24/7. Thankfully, Lemmy/Piefed doesn’t seem to be designed to promote people over content.
Lemmar@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Is it this post you’re referring to? NSFW
pseudo@jlai.lu 2 months ago
Yes, it is nice to see that if you post or comment on a community at least a personn will answer you. This is enough to convince the least lurkers of us, the first step for an active community.
anon6789@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t know how those people do it. Putting out stuff every day for one community keeps me as busy as I’d want to be.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
where do you even get the content from?
anon6789@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I get most of my stuff from Facebook. Since most of you refuse to go there, it really keeps my content fresh 😁
More seriously, since most of my stuff is from non-profits and photographers, it’s still the number one place these people share their stuff since it’s free, easy, and has a built in wide audience.
Other than that, I look for owls in the Google news page once a week, I look up old research papers or read books, I volunteered at a rehab clinic to learn more and get photos and stories, and I go to events and talk with people that work with owls.
I think the most important thing is that I’m genuinely interested in the subject, so even if social media vanished tomorrow, I would’ve stop doing anything I do to source content, I just wouldn’t be posting. I just post because I think you guys will like it and hopefully donate or volunteer yourselves.
baconmonsta@piefed.social 2 months ago
Interesting. I find flooding Lemmy with 0-comment posts rather a disservice to it instead. I come here for the discussion, not for random links to articles.
eta@feddit.org 2 months ago
Of course that’s not what the end state should be but while Lemmy is still growing it’s better to have something to work off than to wait around for good discussions to just appear.
