Why not combine links in one monthly post similar to https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/links-for-january-2025
I personally prefer this format (https://eamag.me/2025/Links-For-January-2025) and you can post single links on social media instead no?

- Multiple links in the same post make it difficult to organize discussions and thoughts.
- Monthly posts require extra effort to maintain and update, which didn't align with our initial goal of sharing more casually and recording our thoughts in real time.
- Modern static site generators support maintaining archive pages by month, so we no longer need to do it manually.
Hoping those ideas make sense to you.
A weekly, or monthly collection is something a reader can take their time for. Or put aside for a moment and come back later to it.
A downside of link bundles is that on an average blog, each installment becomes a page, and one has to click a lot before one gets to the interesting part.
My linkblog therefore sends a collection of links every week via RSS (and others like Bluesky, Mastodon, etc. will follow, if I ever take the time to implement it), but on the web it is just one long list, ready for consumption: https://ewintr.nl/linklog/
My link blog entries are often quite long: https://simonwillison.net/search/?type=blogmark
