Stop spamming the technology community wit this stuff, keep it in amateur radio please
I don’t understand your comment. This IS technology, thus it’s perfectly fine to post here. You don’t need to click on it or view it.
And I can appreciate OP wanting to share a new concept or idea, or promoting this project further as it’s interesting imo.
It is technology, yes. It’s new, a bit niche, but i would be fine with a (cross) post explaining what it is. But there have been several posts from OP on this.
Hi, I am sorry if my posts bother you. It is a new tech I am really trying to get more people to use it if they like it. It is a growing tech.
I think the persistent borderline spam-posting about this, coupled with exclusively linking to your own site, is triggering a negative response from some/many people.
You offer nothing about this tech or topic, only links taking people away from Lemmy and on to your site. If you want to spread the word, you should actually write something in your Lemmy posts explaining what it is, why to use it etc. to get people interested, and then they can take a deep dive on your site if they want. Currently your posts are too low effort with just links and not a single word attached.
The two points I can agree with here are redirecting traffic to their website and the lack of some context before doing so.
I don’t have an issue with OP posting about this frequently, but to be fair if you’re doing it to farm traffic to your own website with the most minimal effort involved possible then it becomes an issue.
OP should definitely at least put some effort into this going forward.
I’ve seen a handful of these posts in the last 24h or so, IMO that is pretty excessive but that’s subjective. But for me its especially the lack of effort, coupled with high frequency, that gives it a traffic farming vibe.
I totally understand your point, But again I am not here to grow Lemmy Nor to grow my website. I really put so much time into writing Meshtastic guides, I am trying to spread the word. Suppose I were to start crafting posts for each platform Reddit, Lemmy, Discord, LinkedIn, etc. I would never have time to write more content about Meshtastic or any other stuff. Please let’s be reasonable here. Focus on the content and the tech. All the comments on why I shared my website. I would to have a conversation about the actual content itself. Did you try it? what is the range? how does it work?
Your approach to spreading awareness is specifically why I am not looking in to it. You give off a scammy vibe, so I’m not wasting time on it. Let’s be reasonable here, if you’re not even willing to write 5-10 lines about what this is and what problem it solves, it doesn’t deserve awareness.
Like what spam? I am not selling anything nor I am asking for your information
It’s generally discouraged to post exclusively from one’s own site/blog, especially in quick succession, to communities that are not dedicated to that. Most instances treat that as spam.
Well sorry :) If I could find another blog other than mine I would love to share it. It is new tech I am trying to let people know about it and hopefully we have enough interests that big bloggers write about it.
It’s great that you’re spreading the word but this must be done strategically, not just dumping a bunch of posts at once on random communities especially since they are all from your own blog.
Keep it to a slow trickle of info and not only will people be less annoyed but they also will have repeated, organic interactions with Meshtastic over a longer period instead of it being forced upon them all at once with spam.
The way you’re doing this they will disregard your posts and think the MT community is annoying and not worth engaging with.
Got it, thank you for the nice comment. I noted your ideas will ease people into it.

I’ve been looking to play with Meshtastic, but I’ve had a difficult time finding hardware that’s compatible with its firmwareNevermind, that’s Reticulum and the RNode.As others have said, maybe try posting some of that content natively to Lemmy for discussion. It’s sadly not uncommon for people to create accounts on here just to drive up engagement of their other blogs (without participating in the Lemmy discussions beyond spamming links). Those tend to get treated harshly by default.
I understand you. I am here sharing an idea. answering questions, happy to take any comment and build on It
When it gone over a tipping point, it does the opposite, no matter how good your intensions is. Sounds like you past that tipping point.
Is there a set “tipping point” in this community? Or are we back to arbitrary rules like Reddit?
It’s technology related and OP is eager to share, again you really don’t have to click on the link or look at this post if it bothers you.
That “tipping point” is totally subjective. Different people have different level of tolerance. You might find it useful and others might find it annoying. My response is a neutral response that observed from the comment OP replying to.
Sure one doesn’t have to look at this but I would also recognize their right to voice being annoyed. I believe this community is civilize, right?
Agreed, it is totally subjective. For me, 5 posts in quick succession, all linking to the same website, is spammy, and i will downvote it. Interesting technology, but one post with a link is enough for me. But i respect anyone’s right to disagree and upvote the posts.
Well, Sorry to bother you then. Nothing else I can do
Don’t worry about ml replies.
Just as some variety to your posts and it will be all good
Will do that, I will wait a couple of days before posting again. I am sorry if I offended anyone again.
No, I’m not. Read my previous response.
Ah yes let’s just focus on articles about mega corps and windows gripes
This isn’t quite amateur radio, that is accessible to non-HAMs as it doesn’t require as much knowledge and training.
