I’m glad you are posting links you find interesting

...and the people who are upvoting the posts, which is why I continue to post them.

You are pasting links to news aggregator inside news aggregator

No, I'm posting a daily e-mail digest into a federated aggregator. No need to clutter your inbox when you can get it in your fediverse feed instead.

This form kills discoverability

No, not doing it would kill it, since they wouldn't be here at all then, and then you're back to having to subscribe to the e-mail.

In this community - you can’t

Yes you can. Nothing stopping you from scrolling.

It also kills discussion

And yet here you are discussing it. BTW if you scroll back through the other posts here, you'll find you have to go 15 posts back before finding the first one that has any discussion at all. So more than 90% of all posts here are read and not commented on anyway, and that's nothing to do with me posting links to the digest.

when I comment, I need to paste link to the article I am referring to

So same thing everyone else has to do if they want to comment here on a link that hasn't been posted yet. You're still welcome to go ahead and start posting the dozens of links in each one separately.

Many such posts in a row might suggest to new users that mostly bots are in here, in effect discouraging them to stay

And as has been already pointed out, no-one had posted anything else for weeks - does that not also discourage them from staying? Again, your real complaint seems to be that nobody has been posting anything else for weeks.

That is why I think we should not allow such links in here

So summing up your position, new people may think I'm a bot, because no-one else had posted anything else for weeks, and you don't want to have to post the separate links (I can relate), and so they may not stay - apparently nothing to do with no-one else posting anything else for weeks - and so because of that the people who are already here and do want to see the digests - the up-voters - shouldn't be allowed to see them anymore, and instead have to go subscribe to an e-mail to get them, thus defeating the whole purpose of programming.dev being a federated service in the first place. Have I missed anything?

I personally find them kind of annoying

So downvote them and/or scroll on by. As long as I keep getting more upvotes than downvotes I'll keep posting them, for those who do want to read them (the people who are upvoting). There's a lot of good content in them. Not sure what your objection to them is, other than no-one else has been posting anything else for weeks.

There is too much of them right now

There's exactly 1 per day. As pointed out by someone else, no-one else had posted anything else at all for weeks.

I believe we should stick to “one topic, one post”

Each one has literally dozens of stories in it. Feel free to start posting separate links for each one if that's what you want to see. I myself don't have the time for posting dozens of links each day. Contrary to what someone else seems to think, I am a person, not a bot, sharing relevant links I see each day. The upvotes I'm getting show it is appreciated, and here we are.
