Please only post a few posts to a community at a time.

Over the past week I’ve seen a few users posting dozens of photos all at once to the same community which could be seen as spamming. You may mean well by posting several posts at once, but because of lemmy’s limited algorithms this will saturate the feeds of many people on this instance and other instances.

What is considered spamming will be left up to the admins/mods, but if you’ve made more than 10 posts at a time in a single community, consider waiting until a later time to continue posting to that community.

edit to add: please limit cross posting the same image to 5 times or less

Spamming may result in a 1 day or longer community or sitewide ban depending on the severity and if it’s a repeated offense.

Some things to consider to prevent spamming: If you have multiple images from a photoset, maybe post them all as one or two posts.

Reporting: If you want to report post spam please put “post spam” or something similar in the report, as it would be hard to tell from a single post reported that its breaking a rule

    One of the offenders. Will take care from now on.

      I appreciate that, yours isn’t actually that bad, there was someone who posted literally 40+ images in 40+ posts in the same community. Not only that but there were photos of the same image set split across several different posts

        That sucks for everyone. I’d rather see similar photos in a single post, and mark the post in a way that makes it obvious that it has more photos.
