Given the general Lemmy guideline that users should avoid posting more than 5–10 times per hour in a single community (to prevent flooding the overall network), would it make sense for Lemmy to implement some kind of Hourly Post Counter?
For example, a small indicator that shows how many posts a user has made to a given community in the past hour—like “3/10 posts this hour”—maybe visible when posting or on your profile.
Perhaps have it so that if users go over the limit, they get an error message.
It could help users stay within the community norms, especially since Lemmy doesn’t have as many active users as Reddit, and frequent posting can have a larger impact here.
Do you think this is a helpful idea?
Or would it just take up space?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
How would people have intense and verbose arguments then? No, they should implement a system like in /r9k/ back in the day, where every post had to be an original combination of symbols or else you wouldn’t be able to post it. Reset the filter every week more or less, depending on traffic, and that should take care of repetitive nonsense!
