    Hey, is there any chance it might make sense to slow down the rate at which loops are posted?

    I really enjoy seeing them on my feed, but if I’m subbed to the loops comm it just floods literally everything else and every other post is a loop with a vertical thumbnail twice the height of other posts. Edit: just checked and it’s actually several loops for every other post 😅

    If it’s not something that makes sense for the comm that’s fine, I just wanted to ask :) engagement seems like it might also be a bit higher with a more limited selection of posts

    Hope you have a lovely day :)

      Thanks for the feedback! Would it help if I used something like schedule.lemmings.world to spread the posts out over the day?

        I think that would help a lot! There are just so many of them in quick succession that it’s really easy for them to drown out all the other stuff I’m subscribed to

        Thanks for the work you do running this community and posting stuff for folks, it’s appreciated :)

            It feels better to me, on my feed I’m seeing a couple loops bunched together, and then a fair number of other posts in between those bunches, so it feels much less like my feed is being drowned out

            I think the real solution to this problem would be some sort algorithms that do a better job of prioritizing small communities, and that don’t allow one comm to drown out others if it’s really active, but short of that, your change seems to have helped :)

            Thank you so much for being receptive to my thoughts! I really appreciate the work you do that contributes to lemmy being a place worth going ❤️
