There are less than 8k MAUs in this community, it doesn't need a firehose of memes from elsewhere.

Ok. Duly noted. Again I was just testing something.
You think 8k may is a chicken and an egg problem though? It seems like like there is no content so there are no users - I'm just trying to fix that is that ok if we bump lemmy userbase?

At least space the posts out. No more than 1 per hour. And even then that gets annoying when one community is dominated by one poster.

Even that may be too much. If my limited feed is full of memes, I'll unsubscribe.

I think that was content from last 2 days on reddit - is that too much? Also yes there is a cap automated postings in there.

When the original content is from is less important than when it's posted here. Lemmys sorting algorithm isn't very smart. When all of the posts are made in a batch it shows them all together. I don't want to see pages of 90% one community.

Once a day the top post from reddit? Great, I'm cool with that. 30 random ass posts from 2 days worth of reddit all within 20 minutes? Annoying as shit, awful. Don't do that.

@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com let's agree to disagree. If I sub to something I want to see new content every time I refresh lemmy, right now feeds are completely static it seems.

upvotes on this posted content is overwhelmingly positive. Hundreds of upvotes
