I don’t mean anything by this, Flying Squid, but are you a bot or something? I see you post in like every single thread on Lemmy.

Sometimes that’s how seeding content goes. Most content in the beginning, is recycled and posted in mass. Even though it’s been out there, you’ve consolidated/ curated the content. That then draws in new users. Eventually, the goal is that they post their own content.

We’re all just trying to get the ball rolling without spamming.

If someone puts care into collecting/ curating their content, there’s is a good chance they’re using an automated posting script (usually python). I wouldn’t hold it against them, though. Even if you’re making you’re own content, you can build a cache of content and then automate the posts. You just have to worry about topical/ current events.

I used to make content based on Planetside 2 (for ps4) that was semi successful. I never wanted to make money, and I spent a lot of my own. I even caused the old sub reddit to flourish (I even made charts, they’re on /r/ps4planetside2).

Long story short, though, it’s people who want to create a community.

Very true, and I appreciate the efforts. I only follow a few active subs so they do tend to dominate my feed.

Maybe just someone with a lot of free time.

I don’t mean that in an insulting way either. A lot of people frame it that way, but a life privileged by free time is better than a life lived in servitude of excessive work.

Looks like something you would see at a disc golf course

Maybe, but the park was sort of converted from a vacant lot, so it was tiny. No disc golf.

I’ve seen this exact picture in memes from half a decade ago! Same angle and everything.

Yeah, I saw it reposted a lot on r/trees over the years.

I swear it was from People’s Park in Bloomington, Indiana. I could even tell you who carved it if I wanted to doxx them, which I don’t.

Edit: This is the only photo of it I can find before they renovated it in the 2000s without pictures of friends in it. You can see the bricks are the same even though you can’t see that table.
