depends on how concerned you are with the recievers. its nice when going through a feed to have topics spread out. at least to me. im much more likely to start just scrolling past more things when clumped together but if spread out then they get a bit more attention. That could just be me though.
This is especially true with the RSS feed communities
Also I don’t think you’re the only one. Often when I come across a clump like that, most of them are sitting at only a few upvotes while other posts in the community do much better.
well so you could have several cat pictures lets say but they are not of the same cat and its not doing the same thing or many various articles about trump. different things and actions. one about the trial another about greenland another about immigrants, etc. no direct duplicates just causes the feed to be streaky.
I mean if you dont want to see cat pics, ask mods to ban cat pics. I’ve never seen a cat pic in my Lemmy feed, but I do occasionally see pictures. I report them to mods for deletion.
sigh. im no sure why my initial thing is not clear. I was saying it would be great if posts from a community was spread out so that when going through your feed you see a greater vareity rather than seeing them clumped up. this is not about not wanting to see particular things. A cat community will have cat pictures. if I did not want to see them I could block the community from all. but I like cat pictures as much as the next person. pets are cute. if posts are put by one person all at the same time though then you get a bunch in a row as opposed to intersped between communities. So the tool from the original post seemed cool and I am hoping folks use them if so inclined. thats all.
yeah don’t misunderstand. its a nicety but beggars can’t be choosey type of thing. Quality posts are a gift so I don’t mean to quibble about the packaging :)

I usually post 3-4 posts at the same time to my communities because it’s quick and easy. Not sure if setting up scheduled posts is worth it

That’s a bug. We need dedupes in our feeds
sorry was not talking dupes just many posts like pictures of the same type or 6 news articles in a row or whatnot.

How is that not a duplicate?

Posting daily to the community is fine, starting to use an third party tool to schedule seems too much.
I’m lucky that usually I’m not the only poster in communities, so content gets there at other times as well
