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

Omg there’s even a downvote counter!
Someone actually downvoted you to “test” that. The reddit mentality is already starting. Lol

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!
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.
Yep agreed!
