A good chunk of those could've made accounts but not stayed long. And how do they get those numbers? Because there were many people who did accounts in more than one instance.

 

Although I originally thought that AskLemmy was made as an equivalent to AskReddit, it's clearly different. On Reddit's it was limited to open-ended "thought-provoking" questions meant for discussion, whereas here it seems like anything goes. The purpose of this community seems to be much broader, that or it's just totally unmoderated lol. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

But maybe there should be another community for just the sorts of open-ended questions that we saw on Reddit

I honestly kind of can't wait for the IPO, I just want to see what happens

I don't love the idea of a neutral vote, because it would necessitate you voting on each and every post for them to stop showing up on your feed, which is actually how the "hide read posts" seems to work right now, but without the neutral vote.

And fuck it, it may be a hot take here, but I don't dislike the idea of suggested posts showing up on your feed. It's a great way to find new communities you wouldn't have found otherwise, even if Reddit was a bit... heavy-handed in its approach

But yeah other than that your idea for showing the user the actual weights used for their suggestions algorithm does sound interesting, but I'm not sure how plausible it is (assuming many of these algorithms use machine learning and the weights are basically meaningless to humans)
