Are some questions here just to simulate activity? (palaver.p3x.de)

Sometimes I can't tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

The goal is to make og posts sprinkled with some cross posts until the threadverse is bigger. I often find interesting articles on reddit first to share here.

Yes, your username is very recognizable as well. You also pull in a lot of posts. I have a bit of a mixed experience with that. Some I think are sh*t and I wish they had stayed on Reddit. Some are good and I appreciate them. I'm not really sure what to make of this. If you read the articles and curate them before re-posting, I think it's a good thing. With some of the posts I've interacted and some don't attract any engagement and don't start any discussions. I think those mainly add empty noise to this place. It's a bit mixed for me. (Edit: please don't feel offended or anything, this is just my opinion. Not necessarily correct and not set in stone.)

Edit: Btw since you're here: How do people who post a lot handle notifications or the comment section? Do you come back and engage at times, or are these posts more fire and forget? I genuinely don't know but I assume it'd be thousands of notifications if you had turned them on?

Piefed helps a lot with that. Usually I will read the first 10 or 20 comments, then disable notifications. At that time, usually the ball is already rolling, and other people will keep the conversation going.
