Is it an in-joke? Or does the person who makes these just enjoy posting them all day?

As of this reply, of the 20 links on the frontpage of !comics@lemmy.ml … 9 are “Heathcliff Without Heathcliff”. Sometimes the comic has as many as 15 on the front-page.
The account spams the instance - I just don’t know if it’s an in-joke, the poster just has nowhere else to post an over-used joke, or the mods don’t care about spamming.
I disagree that 1-2 posts a day counts as spam. It is a disproportionate amount of the posts because not enough other users are active. If more people posted regularly, it wouldn’t seem like so much. The user likes the comics, and they get upvoted more than downvoted, so it’s clear more people like them than not. I recommend you block them if you are so tired of seeing them.
I’d say it’s relative. If you’re the predominant thing on the whole all feed on a proper instance, it’s probably much. Doesn’t matter if the actual number is 1, 2 or 400.
I’ve heard people leave Lemmy on their first day because “it’s just meme pictures”. That was also one single community having way more posts than the other communities. And Lemmy defaulting on showing all the local posts instead of subscribed communities.
And it can kill engagement if things get monothematic. And dominated by one user or a niche topic. But that’s not always the case. Depends on the community. And I can’t say if it’s the case here.
