It's all good I'm still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit

You're doing your best and that's OK!

He was moved by the speech Obama gave for him.

It's seems that my audience was also mostly just one person... That person is dedicated though.

My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I'm getting that same excitement I had back then.

Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!

Donezo. Not missing reddit.

I'm definitely considering taking up permanent residence

And the Reddit blackout hasn't even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I'm excited!

I miss the old lemmy from a week ago when i signed up haha, feels like it blew up so much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are just much more supportive and friendlier here. But I guess because we are in a state now before all the assholes join from reddit...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe it’s just me but Mastodon seems still way friendlier than Twitter, I guess partly to do with the people but also the platform structure that seems to have less incentive to attack people. Hope it’s the same for Lemmy.

I joined a year ago and it's crazy, i remember getting excited over 20 upvotes, that AMA and the whole 3rd party fiasco really brought a lot of people here!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, u/spez being a terrible CEO/person might be the best thing to happen to the fediverse. I tried Mastodon a few months ago but the community wasn't big enough to get me hooked. I joined Lemmy earlier this week and I really like the community that's developing here.

Where do you track your upvotes? O use jerboa BTW

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Top right of comment next to comment age. Besides that, Lemmy does not calculate total karma

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I rather like how total karma isn't tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is a good thing, objectively. But at least on Mlem there is kind of an equivalent of the karma in the profile page (comment score and post score), if you miss that. 😎

Some may interact less though if there is no karma; gamification works after all. I guess we’ll see.

Na, you were lucky if you didn't get 20 down-votes all the time :p

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

I'm sure you're glad to have more neocon friends on here to help with the down voting.
