Now time to do the same thing here hahaha! Reddit 2:.the quest for more money. Seriously when is that movie coming out?
Like the first franchise but with an all-woman cast?
Reddit does Ghostbusters Tokyo Drift
Didn’t they make a cartoon at one point?
First time I’ve seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
Science and fuckery
I downvoted you. No one else had any downvotes; please let me know if it registered. I don’t want vote fuckery like they have on reddit.
It registered, I see the downvote. The reason you don’t see downvotes on most comments is that most people here don’t give them out for no reason, so there just aren’t any to display.
Pretty sure the negative downvotes weren’t intentional manipulation, my best guess was some cross-federation code interacting weirdly. Though it’s fixed now anyway, you responded to a comment that was 17 days old.
Thanks for the reply
Which app is that?
It looks like the lemmy.world website, not an app.
Ahh ok
Yes. However you can install a PWA (progressive web app) via chrome and firefox (perhaps other browsers but those are the ones I use). The PWA allows you to use lemmy when logged into your instance of choice and it acts like a mobile app. To install, go yo your instance in a browser, then check our options. For chrome, it says add to home screen. I believe firefox it says install app.
It’s been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it’s probably more common to see 100% upvotes.
I think it’s cool some communities allow you to see the amount of up and down votes.
Personally I feel that what Reddit has been using for nearly 20 years was successful because it worked, the negativity that inevitably comes with large groups of people was the only issue and a lot of Lemmy users think it’s the basic systems that worked.
Karma added a little boost to activity and engagement, while upvote/downvote helped curate content at a site wide level.
The value of these made up points is directly correlated with the size of the overall group and the larger Lemmy grows, the more it will have the same issues, it’s just a matter of how long we get to enjoy this environment before it outgrows us etc.
The only important thing is that while we still can, we try to reinforce to people that the vote itself is matter of quality and appropriateness to the community the comment/post is in, as apposed to whether the thing is liked etc.
I guess they show upvotes and downvotes instead of net upvotes/downvotes.
I havent looked at code, so i can only guess. Just before you looked at it, i clicked downvote. I realise my mistake and unclick/click it again. The local server we’re browsing on (Server A) sends the downvote to the server the post was made on(Server B), but it also temporarily adjusts it local figure for a while until it can refresh from the server the post was made on. Last it knew server B had a tally at 0 downvotes, so it goes negative. (If Server A had a downvote figure of 4, the same process would have shown 3 to you)
It feels great, doesn’t it? ☺️
Locals only! Haole go home!
Omg! Take my like!
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.
Bathroom’s that way.
Don’t worry ya’ll we 'll ruin it for ya
This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg’s terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.
I was a Digg! refugee.
Another old vet here. Reddit wasn’t special back then. It just wasn’t Digg and they either didn’t know that or forgot that

I was DiggDuggDone before moving to Reddit. Almost 14 years later I’m now Drunemeton across the webs.
Really loving the Fediverse so far! I’ve been so much more engaged.
I’m going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!
Add in Whiskey and you’ll have the perfect trifecta of vice!
Welcome! Where do I sign up?
One of our Futurama mods @Alchemy had you covered !whiskey@lemmy.world
Aww! It’s Lemmy.world so I’m already signed up.
I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
@Axxi
Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I’m replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it’s cool 😎) really does make it feel like “the world of tomorrow” to me
Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.
Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone working to keep servers running during this influx of signups and all the helpful posts I’m seeing around explaining instances and generally how to Lemmy.
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
Thank you for the warm welcome. Any tips and tricks for us Reddit refugees?
Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.
What’s to stop a single Lemmy instance from going “this is taking too much time and money to run, I’m shutting this server down”? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it’s all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.
What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?
My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.
