I’ve noticed some usernames around Lemmy in almost all communities I follow that create several new posts daily and comment in almost all topics. I’m very curious, how do you have so much time on your hands?

This question’s been eating at me for some time, but I didn’t want to directly ask in any of the threads or message the users because I don’t to single anyone out, I’m just very curious. <3

    Homeless, I just spend all day at the public library. Where do we go to to trade in all the upvotes for cash?

        That’s perfect, that’s where I communicate to people what the voices are telling me! I expect they’ll just start showering me with money when I begin the ritual ejaculation.

    I’ve averaged 4-5 comments a day since I made my account. Probably not who you’re asking about but I’ll bite.

    I’m a SysAdmin/Systems Engineer- My work tends to be feast or famine in terms of how busy things get, and there’s often times where I just have to “babysit” a long running process or script. Also times where I just need to clear my head so I can approach a problem a different way.

      I have a similar job, but I have been in the unfortunate position to be swamped with work for the past month or so.

      I have had one task that needed babysitting in the past 3 weeks, and I was so busy that I was jumping between tasks at that point.

    Shore support specialist for this production system (server cluster) used offshore. I spend most of my time “available, on standby”.

      Different job, but same scenario. I hook things up to a machine, run it an hour, swap the next units in, repeat until done. Sometimes there’s other stuff to do, but the basic job is mostly waiting.

    I don’t have a title per se, but I can say that I work with information security and vast amounts of data. I have ADHD so doing “mindless” things like quipping on Lemmy, sudoku and word search puzzles helps me think. It is also why I often comment with images. So I might be commenting or shitposting, but in the back of my head I am thinking about how to restructure a query so that it will return in seconds rather than minutes.

    EDIT: It is also why most comments are edited. I comment now and return to spell/grammar check later (if at all).

    The question has been eating at you for some time, not since some time.

    Also, I’ve wondered the exact same thing. I never recalled seeing such prolific cross community posters on reddit, but here it seems they’re all over the place.

    Nurse manager. I browse when I wake and during dinner. Sometimes during work breaks. I don’t really post. Mostly comment. Doesn’t take long to comment

    I’m a software developer and there are many times I have to wait for something (a program execution to finish, clarification about a task, etc.) and thus have time to open tabs for lemmy and other non-work-related websites.

    I might not meet your criteria though because I don’t usually create “several new posts daily” nor do I comment anywhere near on all threads I read (because I don’t comment where I don’t feel I have anything useful to add).
