Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city ๐Ÿคฃ. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There'll be downtime and hiccups, but I'm a patient man.

Omg there's even a downvote counter!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Someone actually downvoted you to "test" that. The reddit mentality is already starting. Lol

There's no accumulated karma score though. People should be less sensitive about downvotes and I'm hoping it will mitigate low effort karma-seeking content, at least somewhat.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, that raises a point - do upvotes and downvotes here affect post visibility? Much as Reddit has a lot of karma-whoring, it was still useful that a lot of the best content was surfaced on the front page. Is Lemmy the same, or does it just put the newest stuff up top?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are sorts by hot and top, yes. I don't know the details of voting and/or replies that score comment order.

Thanks. Looking forward to discovering how it all works!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Due to the live updating of vote counts, I just watched someone downvote, then remove their downvote a few times to test it.

Haha I saw that and loved it!

Bleeding edge is bound to cut you a little

Here's hoping the place will polish up a little more over time.
