Keeping communities on topic is important, regardless of your ‘priorities’. Off-topic content is bound to only be ignored and pushed aside, it can also cause the communities it’s posted in to become dejected. As well, the adverse can happen, like it did on Reddit. Posts completely unrelated to the topic of the subreddit get upvoted because Redditors stopped caring what subreddits were for, and certain posting topics became karma farms - once again not cared about for the content itself, but for what it gives the poster.
This should be posted in one of the environmental communities, rather than in the technology one. Not only would it do better attention-wise, but it also keeps Lemmy as a whole on topic.
but i have given a reasonable argument why this link is ontopic? its not that i have posted it on the chess subreddit. that would be offtopic and i wouldn’t do that because it would make not much sense.
Not only would it do better attention-wise, but it also keeps Lemmy as a whole on topic.
this link was posted to the technology and the climate crisis community at the same time, but the technology post has 11 points while the one in the climate crisis community has 3. in the climate crisis community, this is nothing new AND it has only received 3 upvotes.
This post has 2 votes and 1 downvote (or three votes in total), the one in the climate crisis community has 5 points total with no downvotes. I have no idea where you got your numbers, because the numbers I see only back up my statement, the post did better by two (technically three, because downvote) votes on the community dedicated to talking about climate change.
