Sometimes I can't tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

The goal is to make og posts sprinkled with some cross posts until the threadverse is bigger. I often find interesting articles on reddit first to share here.

Btw, I wanted to say sorry for my (now edited to be mainly crossed out) sibling comment here about you. That was a bit harsh and after paying some more attention to where you pop up, I've changed my opinion. Not 100% but enough to say that was really far from being the complete picture. And not amongst my best comments here.

Thanks for editing the follow up comment. I tend to read the comments as there are often interesting observations made. A post's quality should not be determined by the number of upvotes it receives. Life is not about chasing popularity.

I use an rss feed from trusted sources and reddit for finding informative articles for the threadverse to enjoy reading, I want the people here to not miss out on anything. For the new outlets that do not support rss I bookmark them then check them out once in a while for interesting pieces. Sure original content is the most valuable though plenty of folks here exclusively use lemmy/piefed on mobile so they don't see it as potential duplicates, people also cross-post content to shift the conversation away from problematic instances.

It's fair to desire more original variety in the content. Sometimes I tend to enjoy posting memes more I personally made from gimp. Learning Blender and making a short animation on Peertube to share here would be a amazing!

~~Yes, your username is very recognizable as well. You also pull in a lot of posts. I have a bit of a mixed experience with that. Some I think are sh*t and I wish they had stayed on Reddit. Some are good and I appreciate them. I'm not really sure what to make of this. If you read the articles and curate them before re-posting, I think it's a good thing. With some of the posts I've interacted and some don't attract any engagement and don't start any discussions. I think those mainly add empty noise to this place. It's a bit mixed for me. (Edit: please don't feel offended or anything, this is just my opinion. Not necessarily correct and not set in stone.)~~

Edit: Btw since you're here: How do people who post a lot handle notifications or the comment section? Do you come back and engage at times, or are these posts more fire and forget? I genuinely don't know but I assume it'd be thousands of notifications if you had turned them on?

Piefed helps a lot with that. Usually I will read the first 10 or 20 comments, then disable notifications. At that time, usually the ball is already rolling, and other people will keep the conversation going.
