Just, stop posting so many threads with inane questions. Chill out a bit
Thats what you say but I thought being an active user would help. And I am not posting questing I am posting stuff I come across the news with. Reddit banned me for posting to much and thought I was a bot.
Yes. Yes you are posting way too much. We had a member on our large discord that felt the need to reply to every piece of co tent and every thread, and they were eventually banned; because people stopped opening threads or participating because they knew every time they posted or commented or replied, it would be replied to by that one person. Don’t be that person. You’re not “encouraging activity and making Lemmy more active” you’re being annoying and the inane questions everywhere just make people block you and are discouraged from replying or posting. Take a step back; you don’t need to be everywhere.
I just went through your post history and imo, I think your content driven posts are fine. Some have a lot of up votes and some have good engagement as well.
Where it seems you get issues, is with other users in your 1:1 interactions. Direct Don questions-as-posts and comments give off an energy of excitement, which is not bad in and of itself, but then your follow ups people feel you're not taking their feedback, or you want other people to do things for you when they have no stake in the request or question.
I think if you created two accounts, one purely content, and the other direct Don questions-as-posts and comments, your pure content account would be completely fine on this platform.
You know I've been interacting with you a good bit, so I don't think you're out of hand.
But, be aware that nobody's opinions other than instance admins and C/ moderators matter.
I don't think anyone believes you're a bot here on lemmy though. Your questions and comments are very obviously human. Or, if you were a bot, you'd be a very damn good one lol.
Just make sure you're checking C/ rules before posting, and do your best to stay on topic for a given C/, and I think you'll find lemmy a lot more forgiving of heavy posting than reddit was even before spez fucked things up.
Again, though, take anyone that isn't am admin or mod's opinion on this with a grain of salt
