There are dozens of upvotes. DOZENS!
Well, a bit fewer from PieFed lately 🤪
Side note, I honestly love that people don’t automatically downvote comments with an emoji here though.
Same 🥺❤️❤️UwU❤️❤️✨💖
(taking the piss, I do genuinely enjoy that an emoji won’t get you crucified here)
I also love that emoticons and kaomoji won't get you crucified either :3
There’s beans in the bean stand
Having recently released a free Android/iOS game I can tell you: 25k views on Reddit, 80 visits to my store page. 100 upvotes on Lemmy 600 views on the store.
Reddit is simply full with bots, upvotes mean nothing.
i knew it was bad, but had no clue it was that bad
It's even worse: Popular subreddits like /r/games have a "at most 10% self promotion" rule, so 10% of your posts can be self-promotion. So I thought: Hey, my account is 14 years old or so, over 100k karma, I'll make a post about my game.
Got instantly taken down, they counted every single patch note post in my own subreddit to the rule. And then I noticed whenever I posted the direct iOS App Store link my post instantly got filtered, even in my own subreddit! The mods heavily pushed me towards buying Reddit ads.
Those are insane ratios, I would never had guessed there would be that much of a difference!
Well you’ve got some upvotes here so what’s the game?
Yes.
Coming up on 420 any minute now
This used to be true; now I sort by New - 6 Hours and I get posts like this with 400 upvotes
The fediverse grows
My crippling scrolling addiction and my crippling corporation hate have conspired to make me sort by top of the last 6 hours. I regularly still see posts with 20 upvotes
I'm here just this week, totally new to the fediverse after they killed old reddit. I like it a lot, feels like the old days.
Dig -> Reddit -> Lemmy
There’s always upvotes in the Banana Stand, Michael.
I remember when the most upvoted Reddit posts had about 1k upvotes, and it was the golden age of reddit.
In 10 years time there is a chance people will mythologise this as the good old days of Lemmy!
Quick only tell like 400,000 more people about the Fediverse and then shut the fuck up
Unironically, I often think about how maybe we should invite r/Europe to europe.pub, and then I'm like "nah fuck those guys"
This made me look at my account's top posts. Highest I ever gotten was 400 upvotes for a post on Android about Pocket now saying malware on android is not a thing 11 years ago.
Then around too 20-ish of posts on small niche subs and meme subs generally around 5 - 8 years ago.
I miss those times.
I should help here but alas I am not my past self. It took me a long tine lurking back then to start posting, and it will take me a long tine to start posting here as well.
did my part...i UP VOTED 🙏
I like to comment but am indifferent to upvoting. Sorry.
Oh now you're in for it. *Get ready for heckin' updoot, bucko
⬆️ blam!
I prefer comments too — It’s social media, not electoral media
Yeah I find it tedious. An upvote barely expresses anything but the entire Internet is built around chasing this barely anything interaction.
Sometimes I have nothing worth saying or to add but I still want to express appreciation and approval of something.
Yes, approval is often only expressed as an upvote (which has very little emotional impact) but disagreement comes in the form of a comment, which hits harder.
So often a post will get hundreds of upvotes but the 20 negative comments on it make it seem like everyone hates it. There are many many ways to disagree so people will always find a new issue to bring up.
We have a structural problem, baked into the way the threadiverse works, that makes communities feel more negative and hostile than they are. I'm not sure what to do about that.
Taking away (or limiting) people's ability to vote doesn't mean they'll leave more comments. It just makes the sorting less effective at moving the comments that the most people like to the top of the thread.

That's just what happens when you federate with tankies. I'm sure the instances that block hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml are the most peaceful. Not that they'll be totally free from trolls, but it's about numbers.
I don't know what the fediverse is and at this point too afraid to ask
Yer right in the middle of it bud
Assuming you’re not just memeing, fedi.tips has a pretty good explainer, although it’s more mastodon focused than lemmy focused.
Happy cake day. At least one year in and you still don't know?
This might be the most upvoted post I've ever seen on Lemmy so far.
Upvotes here are more rare and therefore more valuable
I don't know about posts, but for comments I used to hold the most upvoted comment of the accumulated vores on the fediverse, and probably also the most replies. All by accident of course, and yet nevertheless, I can tell you that there are not just dozens, but thousands of people viewing this shit. Posts must be worse.
It happens and decays quite fast, so your inbox will be red for a couple of days at most. Reddit was the same but for other reasons. People actually read this in comparison, whereas on Reddit the interest would die within hours, unless someone accidentally found your post three years later through googling.
Tastes soo good. Don't stop me. I already have 5 upvores on this.
hahahah you bastard, there are literally dozens of us!
The magic number is 1k.
Remember when the most upvoted post on reddit had 10k upvoted and it was about scooby doo?
I saw it on lemmy! What's a lemmy...?
I have a comment with almost a thousand somewhere... I can't remember if that was my yiffit account or this one.
I've made a huge upvote...
