Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

[META] So is this community just a constant firehose of reposted links? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I joined up here from the other EV communities on Lemmy because it seems some consolidation is going on. Now it's looking like there's a ton of posts all from one of the mods and it's literally overtaking my feed.

For example, the top "hot" posts are here are SIX in less than an hour.

I'm all about getting the community active and all that, but is this really the best method? Spamming links to Elektrek or Cleantechnica doesn't really spur much conversation. Is it possible to just slow that roll of link spam and work on fostering more discussion?

Yeah, personally I'd like to see fewer, more substantive posts. There's not really a lot of comments per article

I will post less articles at a time from now on.

Thank you for listening and having a willingness to change things up. SOME links are fine here and there. The firehose is too much.

Sounds good. I commend your enthusiasm in posting, but I think we might want to slow it down a bit. Lemmy is a primarily a threaded discussion platform, not an RSS feed.

We have an influx of new users, but we need to encourage commenting.

I think as a general guideline, we might want to aim for something like:

No more than 50% of posts from a single user
Comments on at least 50% of posts

Tagging @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] for their thoughts on this.

Any tips on fostering discussion?
