Feature Suggestion: Hourly Post Counter to Help Users Avoid Flooding

I'm not sure how feasible this would be technically, but I wanted to suggest a feature that might help users better follow Lemmy’s posting guidelines.

As many of us know, Lemmy generally encourages users not to make more than 5–10 posts per hour in the same community to avoid flooding the broader Lemmy network. However, since Lemmy doesn’t currently show any kind of post frequency counter, it's easy to lose track—especially for active users or those posting across multiple communities.

Would it be possible for Summit to implement an Hourly Post Counter?

Ideally, this would:

Track how many posts a user has made per community in the past hour

Provide a simple visual indicator (e.g., “3/10 posts this hour”) either in the post submission area or user profile

Reset automatically after the hour passes

Perhaps have it so that if users go over the limit, they get an error message.

Given Lemmy's relatively smaller user base compared to platforms like Reddit/Instagram/Xitter/etc., this kind of feature could help users self-moderate and reduce the risk of unintentional spammy behavior.
