To "drip" versus to "roundup," is that the question? (i.e., how to best distribute posting/image content across the FV & Lemmy-sphere) (lemm.ee)

Okay, there's a frustrating backstory that I won't bore y'all with, but in this case, my Lemmy-mates have suggested that I should share image-content more slowly, rather than do roundups like this.

To explain: I personally hate withholding content when I have a load of some resource to share. I feel like a fraud, an a-hole, a userer, and all that stuff...

Yet I've been told repeatedly that it's better to just (in my words, 'act like a drone') drip the content, and yes, it's not hard to see the logistical point, but... bah.

I guess, end of the day, I always like to include something interesting about my posts, and it would be harder to do that via the "drip" posting method, which... pretty much circles back to why I post the way I do, which is to aim for roundups.

Bah... Baa-Ram-Ewe!

In terms of growing a community, I think it is usually better to 'drip' than to to 'dump'. It gives more chances for a post to hit the top of /all, and it keeps the community fresh in the minds of users.

That being said, 'dripping' requires more work to space out the posts, and I don't always practice what I preach...
