Seems like a huge amount of my posts are from this one account, which some/most are news, so… That’s cool and all, but I wasn’t expecting so many from just one account.

    Just wondering OP, is your front page set to “Local”? You can get a much wider view of the federated network by using “Subscribed” (assuming you’ve subscribed to communities on other instances) or “All”.

    You can change the default filter as well in your profile settings:

    It seems like it’s their personal link collection that we can all see?

    A true self published zine (that’s just links?)

    A public pocket/read-it-later?

    Seems like it’s how some folks will use these sites as a crossover between following users a la twitter and mastodon vs following threads/topics a la reddit and lemmy.

    I’m a sucker participant and commented on one.

        Thanks for that! I recommend that people block the community if they find it annoying, but I’m quite surprised it was found at all.

        Thank you, so much for the great instance! Glad I made my way here.

      As I started sharing things, I did wonder if mastodon, or calckey would be a better option. I never had a Twitter account, so the thought never occured to me. I’d block the community if you find it annoying.

      I appreciate the inclusion! I’ve responded a few times in the thread with more details, but, my recommendation is to just block the community if you find it annoying. I didn’t think about it clogging up the local feed.

    Yeah. They’re going a bit too hard.

    I get wanting to kick-start the community, but we need conversation as well as posts.

    edit: oh i misread, it’s just one person’s links, nobody else can post. No community to kick-start there. I guess it’s easy to block.

    I’ll be honest here… it took me a while to make the waluigi connection. The mini avatar looked like a guy with black hair and a top knot with a black messenger bag strap and a white shirt carrying a bag of groceries…

      Nah, I just enjoy posting things that I find. I’m not really curating anything for anyone, it’s just sending it into the void. I never thought that anyone would subscribe, but I also never thought about the possibility of it showing up on everyone’s local feed.

      I think everyone who doesn’t want to see it should just block the community. Because honestly, if we don’t have the same taste, that’d get annoying.
