I joined up here from the other EV communities on Lemmy because it seems some consolidation is going on. Now it’s looking like there’s a ton of posts all from one of the mods and it’s literally overtaking my feed.
For example, the top “hot” posts are here are SIX in less than an hour.
I’m all about getting the community active and all that, but is this really the best method? Spamming links to Elektrek or Cleantechnica doesn’t really spur much conversation. Is it possible to just slow that roll of link spam and work on fostering more discussion?
This community is for all discussion about electric vehicles. Different posters will have different ideas as to what makes a good post. A lot of the time, I will pass over articles because I’m not particularly interested in any discussion they may spur nor do I think people particularly care. But other posters will have their own ideas. I think as things settle down, we’ll see more personalities come through and everyone will rein themselves in a bit, but they need time to settle in and get comfortable.
Which is all great. And I agree people will post at different times, but it’s quite excessive lately and at least for me, doesn’t make me want to be a part of this community. If I wanted every story from Elektrek or Cleantechnica, I could just visit those sites.
When I said that I will pass over articles, I meant see articles in my RSS and decide not to post them. I totally understand your frustration and exacerbation and ask for you to have a little patience. I will pin this so the process of posters being more picky about what they post is expedited a little.
Appreciate it. Thanks!
