    Lol I ask myself this all the time!

    Just hit 3200 this week, and I get maybe 1-2 posts a month not from me. I get so excited when someone else does one!

    I only started posting daily because I really love what I share, so I’d be sourcing all the stuff just for me. If you’re doing this as a job, you’re going to burn out. I try to post 3 or 4 things a day and have a week or 2 of posts built up in a drafts folder for slow news days or days where I feel like crap and I can keep it going. That’s a labor of love though. If it’s something I wasn’t all in on, it would suck to do all that work for free.

    Check out the !fedigrow@lemm.ee community if you want to discuss the growing pains here. It’s mainly us crazy dedicated few talking about growing our communities.

        It’s funny, as I typically do not like attention, especially from strangers.

        I do like researching and teaching people things though, so it is really fun to hear people say “wow, I never knew this was that interesting” or when they ask me questions I don’t know the answers to and I end up reading about something I never thought to look into. I got asked some especially good questions this week, and it was a lot of fun coming up with good answers to share, so we all got a little smarter together. Fun stuff!
