What is the motivation for accounts that do a ton of posting on Lemmy? Like, many posts per day. (lemmy.world)

I'll just leave the question at that, because I can't even speculate.

I'm guessing that you're thinking of sanitation, since there was some discussion I recently saw about him.

I don't post all that much, but I comment a fair bit, so I could answer regarding that. For that, I enjoy discussing stuff on forums.

As a secondary factor, I also think that that's kinda what the Threadiverse is short of, people out discussing different things. As of 2026, Reddit's got a whole lot more users talking about a whole lot more stuff, which gives it a ton of niche topic coverage and valuable information. That's really what makes Reddit valuable; that's why people do site:reddit.com searches on Web search engines and such, not because it has Reddit Gold or because people are especially taken with the recommendation algorithm or anything like that.

    Yeah as a frequent commenter it's basically that it's the form of content I feel suited to giving. I'm awful at thinking of things to post, but discussing things, I'll spend all day discussing things if I let myself. And I appreciate seeing interesting comments, so hopefully when I comment others might feel interested in commenting more too.

    Also ADHD and inability to shut up

    Yeah, I've noticed his name. And butterfly lady, or whatever. And, the CM2000 one. I just recognize them when I see them.

    Exactly, the ones who seem to post non-stop, across multiple comms. Sometimes I think I'm on here too much, but then I imagine the time they're spending.

    They seem to post in earnest and engage in the comments sometimes. I guess they just do it for fun.
