I don’t dislike the Adam’s Family nor the Munsters, but I have blocked both communities because they each had a ton of submissions on the same day, and they were dominating my feed.
There’s nothing wrong with slowly submitting content. Submitting too much, too quickly makes it hard to distinguish from spam.
Just my opinion. I understand that you are looking to build something, and therefore you disagree on submission frequency.
I love eevee and its eeveeloutions, but the eevee community is spammy AF. I unsubscribed after a couple days. I am getting close to blocking it altogether.
I mod the women's hockey community on OP's instance, and post the results of all games (this past season there were only 6 teams so not a lot), but if there are two games in a day I try and put at least 6 hours between the posts so not to spam.
I suppose it depends on the purpose of the community. Narrowly defined communities like eeveelutions or The Addams Family don't really justify a glut of content in an hour.
OP seems to run a news community though, which is probably where they ran into a brick wall with the 5 post limit. There's a lot of news. And I guess you're not a very useful news community if you miss a lot of it.
First time I hear about Eevee community. Is it !Eevee@pawb.social ?
Yes. And looking at the feed, there are 11 posts all at the same hour mark, then it will go a day or so with nothing then another dozen posts at once.
