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?

I think it's important to remember that there's no karma here. Post what you're interested in and willing to engage in discussion about as a rule of thumb. Also try and stay away from announcements, like "Brand X announces they'll come out with Car 2000 in 2026 as there's generally very little info or anything to talk about. There are of course exceptions, but I'm just talking general rule of thumb. If there's a BYD enthusiast, they'll of course post it, but it's fine, because they'll reply to every comment. The key is to let your posts reflect you. Articles are fine, but people are better.

None of the yous were referring to you specifically three 😂
