It’s related to the flood I mentioned in an earlier post, but I think more people can want to do similar things, sharing all their content on lemmy to make it discoverable. I think people might want to do it for different legitimate reasons, and I’m not sure what the right way to do it is.

Ideally there should be a way to create a thread without showing it on “new”, or even better, lemmy should limit automatically how much space a community or server can take on the global “new” lists

    My use case turned out to be a bad idea, but let me explain what I was thinking before first

    The content I have is a lot of AI generated satire, that is created from user’s prompts. Most AI generated jokes aren’t much funny, but sometimes they are, if the user uses a funny prompt there is a good chance of it generating something good. More frequently I like the images it creates.

    My intention was to make it as easy as possible for people to upvote when something is actually funny, and sorting it by upvotes we would have better content to read.

    It is a bad idea because moving the content too fast to lemmy people can’t read and decide if they’ll upvote or downvote anything, even if I work around the flooding problem.

    And after writing it I dunno if there is a good use case for doing that.

      Forgive me if I’m not understanding, but what’s the point of even doing all that? If people want to look at AI generated content, it’s easy enough to find yourself. Blasting Lemmy with it seems like a weird idea. If it’s for personal use, why not post it to your own private blog or something?

        I’m not disagreeing, in the comment you replied I said it was a bad idea.

        I still think it should be possible to have a community in my own instance where I can do my own thing without “blasting” other instances. Apparently there isn’t, and I didn’t think a good use case for it, but it feels like a feature that would make sense

      I don’t think you’ll actually have the necessary userbase to do that.

      But even if you did, I don’t think you’d get good results. Most people upvote simple, straightforward jokes, not complex satire.
