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.
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.

where do you even get the content from?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Is it this post you’re referring to? NSFW

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.
