Hi, I am sorry if my posts bother you. It is a new tech I am really trying to get more people to use it if they like it. It is a growing tech.
I think the persistent borderline spam-posting about this, coupled with exclusively linking to your own site, is triggering a negative response from some/many people.
You offer nothing about this tech or topic, only links taking people away from Lemmy and on to your site. If you want to spread the word, you should actually write something in your Lemmy posts explaining what it is, why to use it etc. to get people interested, and then they can take a deep dive on your site if they want. Currently your posts are too low effort with just links and not a single word attached.
The two points I can agree with here are redirecting traffic to their website and the lack of some context before doing so.
I don’t have an issue with OP posting about this frequently, but to be fair if you’re doing it to farm traffic to your own website with the most minimal effort involved possible then it becomes an issue.
OP should definitely at least put some effort into this going forward.
I've seen a handful of these posts in the last 24h or so, IMO that is pretty excessive but that's subjective. But for me its especially the lack of effort, coupled with high frequency, that gives it a traffic farming vibe.
