    Yeah my life doesn’t leave me a lot of room for creating posts. I know how much work that takes.

    But I’m good at running my mouth, so I try to comment these days because I know that engagement drives engagement. (I have no idea what drives post visibility on Lemmy though. Is there an algorithm here?)

    I’m not working tomorrow, so I’ll have time to read some research! But I’ll never argue with funny adorable owl pics of any sort either haha

      For real, I never gave much thought to the time content creation takes before I feel into this. My work has good chunks of downtime while I’m waiting for equipment to be ready or me being on standby so it works out. I probably spend as much time on this as actual work most days.

      Lemmy 0.19 or whatever it is sorta does an algorithm where there is a weighted active sort or something along those lines. I’m guessing like a post on a comm with 5000 subs with 50 comments is ranked about the same as a post in a comm with 50 subs and 5 comments. So I hear anyway, World hasn’t rolled it out yet due to smaller instances having issues when it first came out and they didn’t wanna trash the biggest instance for not super significant upgrades until more bugs were worked out.

      I couldn’t tell you exactly how the regular active sort works, I just default to New on all comms and occasionally glance at Top 6 Hours on All.

      This research is more just an observation, it’s like 3 paragraphs. I’ll post the one pic in the morning and the research one at lunch. The other pic I think is a little better so I’ll hold onto that a bit. I got a quick Owl-natomy in reserve too for a day where I can’t find anything to post. Switching to an app with drafts has been such a huge help so I can prepare things in advance.
