It would be nice if we could create post/communities that only sort comments on recency. I never did like the whole reddit upvote downvote button for comments.

Yeah but it would be interesting if you could just set it to new for everyone not just like your personal sorting.
In the menu below the post, click on 'New'.
I don't think there is a way on Jeroba?
Top right 3 line menu in jerboa
Damg I straight up do not see that anywhere ): Could it be because I'm using an old version?
Yeah, when you go into the thread the top right has the lines icon for the menu to sort comments how you want.
Hmm I wonder if I need to update or something. I definitely can not find it ): Good to know it's supposed to be there though
Upvote and downvote is a great system provided it shows both and doesnt reduce it to positive or negative only.
The system is meant to show good content from bad content, by showing the total amount of up and down votes. Reddit got rid of that system years ago and just showed the sum of votes which is where the "hive mind" mentality came from. Used to be you'd see a post with dozens of upvotes and downvotes and it would tell you that the content itself was usually of high quality, it was just a controversial take. If a post had 450 downvotes and 400 upvotes you'd know they were speaking for about half of the site, whereas if it only shows "-50" you'd think they are a huge minority.
As long as karma doesn't exist and the total amount of all votes are displayed, I think it's a far better system than just showing every comment based on it being recently posted. If we did that you'd have spam everywhere and you would have to dig through a dozen low effort comments to get the best engagement.
Any chance we will ever see a minimalist icon for the fediverse? xd
*Removes the lines*
Yep, looking good!
for what? lmao
Just a heads up OP, you added an extra semicolon and slashes in the embedded link. It'll try to redirect people to "http://;//www.victorgnarly.com", which doesn't resolve. Great content in any case!
I never even noticed. Brilliant decision.
Try a different browser. It was "down" for me all day yesterday, but as soon as I swapped from Firefox to Chrome it worked.
Love it
hmm
me watching too much Supernatural: I hope the pentagram is made of colored salt and there's no draft or wind
Fantastic!
Nice job, I like the artwork
That's how you know it's better
Everything’s better with a pentagram!
How long will it remain that way? I’m sure operating costs will eventually require introducing ads into the mix, or is there some sort of structural safeguard that prevents ads from eventually showing up?
If a true reddit migration does happen (which I honestly doubt for a number of reasons, technical issues aside) and selfhosting is too expensive, I'm confident the community here can funnel a means to support the server without introducing ads to the feed or site directly.
I can picture a mall for Lemmy merch. Kurzgesagt discusses their financing in this video and paralleling that business model with trendy bullshit sounds like a winner to me. Lemmy.world Calendar anyone?
