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!

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!
People stay if there is enough content and the user experience doesn’t suck. So fare, more and more people try to engage and build new communities. Just try to add value. Also the UI and Apps improved quickly but its fare from perfect :-)
we are come that you may have engagement, and have engagement more abundantly. - lemmy jesus
I’m definitely considering taking up permanent residence
That’s the idea 😉
on it my good sir!
It’s all good I’m still mostly getting 1 upvote, similar to reddit
You’re doing your best and that’s OK!
Why was Obama crying?
I’m grateful to see open source softwares blow up online
Yes, I’m very proud of the Reddit community for several times over the years mass-recommending open source and federated options.
It’s honestly been amazing to witness, it’s still got a ways to go before it’s anything like mainstream but still
Yeah still missing a lot of country/thing-specific communities
It’s like a warm, beautiful sunset.
My first comment was the most upvoted comment on a subreddit. I got 19 upvoted.
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!
I remember before federation was an implemented feature and there were like 5 instances that couldn’t talk with each other. I feel old now.
Where do you track your upvotes? O use jerboa BTW
There’s no karma total, lemmy only tracks you individual post/comment vote counts. Break free of the shackles of Karma Addiction!
Karma addiction is a thing…but I don’t get a notification when I get upvoted.it’s not a bad thing…I use infinity to access reddit and it doesn’t show notifications either so I’m used to it…but I got curious about how you track your upvoted because of the meme
Up there in the top right corner is the number of upvotes a comment or post has gotten, there’s no total upvote/downvote tracking here.
Top right of comment next to comment age. Besides that, Lemmy does not calculate total karma
I rather like how total karma isn’t tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?
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.
Great point on gamification! I guess we will see if it is a good enough factor or not on here.
Gamification works if your content is consistently good and dissuades other opinions. How many times have you deleted something you posted that got negative Reddit karma or no likes because you were frankly embarrassed? I did and now I realize I probably regret it.
That’s a good point! And, yes, I have done that in the past…
It’s perfect and I wish Reddit did it ages ago. It’s the same as Forums with account levels, it makes you think someone has more input than they actually do, and it opens up the system to people selling accounts or botting accounts to later sell (which is a rampant problem on reddit and there’s now anti-bot bots).
I agree. One less thing to stress about maximizing
Is there another option other than Jerboa? I miss RiF…
I feel nostalgic in advance for having stumbled on an inside joke that I was almost around early enough to be on the inside of but can nevertheless clearly project myself there.
True story
Holy shit, you’re famous
Hey it’s that guy who got 20 upvotes!
Look at you with 6 whole upvotes!
