To be clear, the time probably needs to be expressed via UTC / GMT or other time zone labels.
I regularly post across ~half a dozen communities, the most frequent being to my own, where I post at 9AM (UTC-4 / EST zone) so as to hit early risers in the States and afternoon surfers in Europe. But with other posts, I get the sense that it would be better to post later in the day to hit more viewers. I’m just not sure when that would be.
TBC, I usually use the PieFed scheduler to post, so it’s no problem for me posting at any time of the day.
Thanks for any insight!
While there might be a perfect time of day to post to the Threadiverse, please don’t put out all your posts at that time. I remember a couple years back when YouTube channels optimized for this and everyone published at 16 UTC, you had no new content all day and too much to watch when 16 UTC hit.
On here I don’t care what time or day it is at all. I just post what I want to post. If it has value it will still be in peoples’ top/hot/active feeds the next days.
Fret not. As stated in the OP, a lot of my posts are published at a ‘compromise time’ so as to hit both the Americas and Europe, and this would be a way to expand other posts in to more time possibilities.
The other thing I’ve come to observe based on comments and votes is that sadly, it looks like the majority of the FV audience doesn’t bother to scroll back much past… maybe 6-8hrs or so. Sure, there’ll be a ‘small stragglers crowd’ willing to read back a couple days, but it seems much smaller. 😕
