I’ve noticed I’m getting downvotes. If you don’t want me to post literature here, please just tell me. Maybe I am in the wrong place.
We just want to expand the reach of Hispanic writers. We are an open-source platform.
Btw, I wouldn’t want to cause any trouble, so I would like to have the permission of the community and the moderators to continue amplifying the writing of Hispanic authors. If this type of initiative is not welcome, please let the moderators say so clearly.
Thank you and best regards.
Self promotion is very unpopular here. Having the same username as your domain screams spam.
In addition set your Lemmy language to your native one so it is automatically hidden from those of us unable to read it.
Interesting, I need to look for that setting so that I can see more posts in Spanish.
In your profile, select all the languages that you speak, so you will see messages from all those languages.
Thank you! 🤗

This just means you’re on a site that has votes. You could say in a post “the sun rises in the east” and someone will downvote it for some asinine reason or another. If the client you’re using supports it, just hide the vote values. Life’s much easier and happier that way.
Absolutely. There have been times I’ve fat fingered the downvote button on a good post or reply to me and not noticed until a day later.
Thank you! 🤗
So, a few things:
- As mentioned by slazer2au, we don’t allow self-promotion. It is also in community rules (in sidebar if using web). You can make a general post here with the info about writers, or post to other sites.
- Select language while posting. If you set the language then only people who have selected that language will see the content. Most content is by default “undetermined”, which is by default selected by everyone. If you select “Spanish” only people who have that selected in their profile will see your content.
- Don’t post too much at once. There is no hard rule about it though.
- Even with all that, some people will still downvote your posts, if you are regularly getting more downvotes than upvotes, then it simply means the community doesn’t want to see this kind of content. You can try changing how you post if that happens, or try to engage them by asking how they want it.
I downvoted because of the AI post at the top of the page when I clicked through the link
Thank you! I will try to make one or two post a day, promoting our spanish writers. I appreciate your words.
Unfortunately, our writers rely on IA for their illustrations bc it’s cheap and don’t have money to pay a professional illustrator.
