In my second month on lemmy (sh.itjust.works + Voyager) now and just noticing that I can’t figure out y’all’s schedule.
On another site, for instance, I knew it loosely followed the US sleep schedule. For instance, if you posted something at 5am EST, it would be completely buried by the wave of people posting first thing in the morning.
As far as I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be that pattern here and I can post whenever I want and posts seems active for days instead of hours…
But I am a little curious about the little details. For instance, a comment on a newish post can pick up 5 upvotes in an hour, and then it’s like nobody ever reads it again.
So is there a pattern on Lemmy or does it really just depend on the server?


Ah, it’s interesting. I notice I do this myself.
So there’s probably an initial rush on “New” that lasts a few hours, and then you move into the slow and steady trickle of the less frequent posters who scroll a curated feed.
That explains a lot. Thanks!
