Trying to do it more now
You must log in or register to comment.
The only time it sucks to not get upvoted is when you’re downvoted because there’s a bot on you so the things you post won’t be seen.
TIL: there are killer bots. Crazy.
so like reddit lol
Fortunately upvotes/downvotes on Lemmy do not affect visibility.
This is untrue. It depends on your sorting option. It does change sorting for “hot” for example. You can also sort exclusively by upvotes I think, as well as controversial. Active it does not matter though I don’t think.
This is partly true. While upvoting has some effect, boosting (at least on Kbin) has a much greater effect on sorting. For example, no comments were boosted on this thread, with Omgarm’s 12 upvote comment below 1984’s 42 upvote comment when using hot sorting. I boosted Omgarm’s comment and it is now at the top of the page despite have less than half the upvotes.
That’s a weird system. I haven’t used Kbin, except for where it intersects Lemmy, so I wasn’t aware of that being a thing even. On Lemmy we don’t see that sort of thing.
It is simply related to each instance differing in which ones are federated and blacklisted by admins.
What does “blacklisting by admins” mean?
Blocked instances. On every Lemmy instance (Kbin is also one just with reddit UI), at the bottom of page, an “Instances” link shows federated and blocked instances.
That isn’t true.
Feeds can be sorted. The instance you are on sets defaults, but you can change them for yourself.
New shows them based on the latest post, Old is oldest post. New comments is based on the latest comment. Most comments is as it says.
Most other options (Active, Hot, Scaled, Top, Controversial) use up/downvotes, You can see it detailed here.
but you can change them for yourself.
Exactly.
Yeah it’s nice to upvote and comment here to show activity since we aren’t that many. :)
yep!
Afternoon all just reading this while I eat some toast for breakfast
Toasted banana bread and a quad espresso in the forest for me.
Its a great day for toast!
It’s lunch here. :)
Literally 1984…… what’s for lunch then
Indian food! Had to walk through snow storm to get t to restaurant… :) But good food.
Try some South Indian food. Nothing like sambhar dosa with coconut chutney, curd and a tomato uttapam, and a South filter coffee to wrap it up.
If you are into Chinese cuisine, find a good place with fried momos with oregano seasoning, red chilli chutney and mayo dip. Indians have their own twist to Chinese dimsums and it is superior.
Wow that sounds delicious. Writing it down, thanks!
