Okay, there's a frustrating backstory that I won't bore y'all with, but in this case, my Lemmy-mates have suggested that I should share image-content more slowly, rather than do roundups like this.

To explain: I personally hate withholding content when I have a load of some resource to share. I feel like a fraud, an a-hole, a userer, and all that stuff...

Yet I've been told repeatedly that it's better to just (in my words, 'act like a drone') drip the content, and yes, it's not hard to see the logistical point, but... bah.

I guess, end of the day, I always like to include something interesting about my posts, and it would be harder to do that via the "drip" posting method, which... pretty much circles back to why I post the way I do, which is to aim for roundups.

Bah... Baa-Ram-Ewe!

I prefer the drip-feed as a regular user. Seeing a big influx of posts in one day from a community I follow tends to drown out other communities I follow, and feels intimidating. I've currently signed up to see bunnies, owls, foxes, and snakes. If I see mostly snakes at the expense of foxes, owls, and bunnies I'm not going to be too thrilled. (In practice, this doesn't happen, !snakes@lemmy.world isn't that active, if you like snakes please post! I do whenever I run across some pleasing snake content in my regular internet browsing, maybe I should put more effort into explicitly finding snake and fox stuff again…)

I am more willing to let it go if I followed some giant community with lots of subscribers, because what did I expect, a big community is going to have lots of people wanting to post stuff. But if it is a small niche…

As a poster trying to keep Lemmy active and as a mod, I find things in bursts. So I break them up with https://schedule.lemmings.world/. Post one thing right now, do all the rest on that scheduler so they come out a couple days from now. That way I still get to "post" all at once—just into the scheduler, which will actually submit the posts in a more spaced out manner for me.

Anything like that for non-.world instances? I was banned from there a while ago and I prefer not to even go there now because it's so toxic and censorship-heavy.

Despite the URL, this is not just a service for lemmy.world. I have also used it with my ani.social account to post on ani.social, no lemmy.world involvement needed. You could probably use this successfully with your lemm.ee account to post on places you are not banned from.
