I’m new to Lemmy and posted some nsfw posts with pictures on some nsfw communities. They weren’t offensive and fit with the communities I posted them on. I also labeled them all as nsfw so that shouldn’t be a problem but every single one of them no matter the community has negative votes. Am I doing something wrong? Is it the pictures? The titles I post them with? or am I just being targeted by someone who is downvoting them all?

    Apart from the two posts asking why your posts have been downvoted, you’ve got seven posts, and six of those are the same photo. That comes across as spamming to a lot of people, especially if you post them at roughly the same time. They’re possibly appearing on people’s feeds one after the other.

    It hasn’t happened much on Lemmy yet as far as I’ve seen, but Reddit was full of posts that were deliberately spammy, where girls would post the same photo to loads of subreddits, and have a link to paid content either in the post or their bio. As you can probably imagine, people get used to downvoting those posts almost reflexively.

    You might want to consider either publishing less posts in one go, taking multiple photos and changing them up over your posts, or looking at cross posting. You still post to lots of communities, but it doesn’t come across as spammy.

    Good luck, and welcome to Lemmy 🙂

        Ah, ok. I wasn’t sure how much was spam and how much was just people who don’t know how to crosspost.

      Yup, I came to say this after taking a look at OPs posts. I tend to block users who do that instead of downvoting though. I dislike scrolling through All and seeing the same post over and over again.
