I wasn’t sure where to put this, but it’s meta to Lemmy/Piefed so I figured this is as good a place as any.

I’ve noticed a trend of certain posters submitting several threads or even copies of the same thread back to back. Sometimes they’re all about the same topic, sometimes they’re different, but it seems like some people do all their posting at once. The result is usually something like 7 or 8 threads in my feed from the same person back to back, often with all of them being just images. So like, 8 images of cakes in a row or whatever.

Does anyone else find this obnoxious? I personally tend to block people who post this way so they don’t show up in my feed, but I’m wondering if it’s just me. It seems like poor etiquette to me, but I’m curious if I’m alone in this.

    I do this because I post largely educational content about a niche subject. I post before I go to work, and everything people have questions about, I can reply to them largely throughout my day when I have long spells of downtime while the machines I work with are busy running. Then at night I’m busy living my life and finding some things to share over the upcoming days.

    It keeps me able to keep a very popular community alive while not consuming my whole life.

    I only ever post a max of 4 or maybe 5 things if I’ve just got too much to share.
