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!

No 500 errors on my end. What instance was the account you were you trying to schedule from on, and what instance was the community you were trying to schedule a post to on?

Thanks, mate!
So, both the acct and destination community were hosted by Lemm.ee. It's one of the big-five or big-four instances (whatever) across the Lemmysphere, FWIW.

I suppose I could test this from FF (I'm on Chrome) if you think that might work, altho it did work fine in Chrome just a week ago. *shrug*

Every single time I have used the Lemmy Scheduler I did it from Safari or Firefox. I do not have a lemm.ee so I cannot test posting from there unfortunately. I'll try to post TO lemm.ee and edit this comment with my result
