I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.
I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.
When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.
What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?
Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?
It’s up to the moderators whether to allow those kinds of posts. Sometimes I’ll look at the linked article and post a summary (often just the first sentence after the headline) but I’d rather that the original poster was required to do that. I started [email protected] and made a few posts there, but no one else posted anything, there so it’s deserted for now.
