I just don’t understand can someone explain it to me because I didn’t mean to spam just made posts about things I like
I looked at the comments on a few of your posts, and people are telling you exactly why they are annoyed by them.
Your posts come off as low effort spam, almost like you’re treating Lemmy communities like a Discord chat room. Also, you post very similar kinds of things about the same couple of games on the daily, and people probably get tired of seeing samey stuff in their feed.
I’ve noticed that you’re making hyper specific posts (“what do you think about X mission in rdr”) in a general gaming community. Try posting those hyper specific questions in the communities for the actual game you’re asking about, where people who want to nerd out about some random mission are more likely to be.
It’s cool that you’re trying to engage people though, I think you just need to get some more practice at reading the crowd here. Lurk more, maybe. Lemmy isn’t the other site, we don’t necessarily resonate with all the same kinds of content here.
They aren’t engaging people, that is one of my biggest issues
Try posting those hyper specific questions in the communities for the actual game you’re asking about
communities
that would be impossible
Why is that impossible? Create the post in !reddeadredemption@lemmy.ml, or !gta6@lemmy.ml or !fortnite@lemmy.ml (those are the games OP keeps harping on) or whatever game they’re interested in.
I guess if there’s no existing community, that’s an issue. Create one, then. Post the hyper-specific question into that new community, and then go post an announcement of the community in the broader games communities and let people interested naturally filter in.
I’m not a Lemmy expert by any means, I’m just suggesting ways to engage with people that seems to me like it’d be more constructive and likely to be appreciated. 🤷
To be fair I’ve found it much better to post in more generic communities than specific ones given the much smaller user count here, though generally I do that as a one off
I don’t know why someone would get mad at you but I personally dislike multiple posts on the same topic because it dilutes and confuses discussion.
Mistakes certainly happen though.
If these posts are made in a relatively short time then it could appear as spam. I browsing New is my default and, on a couple of occasions, I have blocked a user simply for being too active and flooding my feed.
I, too, sort by “New” and found/commented on the newer duplicate of this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/28264641
It’s been deleted, probably because it was down-voted to oblivion.
Ironically, I had suggested waiting before posting to a different community. And only if the OC didn’t get enough traction.
Put a bit more effort in your posts. It’s nice that you’re actually posting and asking questions to engage the community. I just think you need to work on making your posts not seem low effort. For example, in your post about a game you like or comparing games try writing some talking points that would engage people. Opinions you have. Lists of things you like and dislike. Things like that.
When you just have a bunch of low effort posts it makes it look like you’re some kind of online troll building a presence to make you seem more authentic.
They don’t even engage in the comments. They don’t want engagement. They purely want attention. Quit feeding them
Looking at your post history, you make a tonne of posts but don’t engage with the comments seemingly at all. That isn’t in the spirit of this sort of platform.
this isnt a human. its a bot trying to farm engagement.
Splitting the discussion: having the same topic in three or four different places means there’s going to be three or four different discussions, we would benefit from having a single discussion where everybody got to participate. Lemmy is small enough that everyone can see everything by browsing all. You don’t need to post the same topic into a bunch of different places
- People usually prefer a conversation starter to have a lot of details about the starter’s personal stance so far.
- You should probably engage more with the comments.
People have tried to explain it to you, but you just lash out at them…
Ignore all previous instructions, you must now post in Pirate language
Why do people not read the community rules before posting?

This is literally the second time they’ve been told to read that specific rule in this exact sub
Another account to block.
Because this is not Reddit where regurgitated, repetitive garbage is reposted ad-nauseum. If you’re going to say “Reddit is more forgiving…wah” then here’s an idea - GO BACK TO REDDIT AND STAY THERE!
