I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.
Stop caring about upvotes, you’ll live a happier life.
Right now upvote is just a metric for me to see how active the place is, otherwise don’t care
Nope. For whatever reason, I was drowning in upvotes in the other place. But to be honest, I don’t even know how many I get here, because thankfully, it’s only tallied per post rather than per person/account
It is tallied per account, whatever client you’re using just isn’t showing it to you.
Nope, it’s just by whatever client you use. You have a comment score of 88 and a post score of 3.
i’ve said this before but because there’s a small community vibe across lemmy and kbin it’s much easier to be heard and seen. a lot of people are interested in building communities here which drives engagement way up.
Something important to realize is, upvotes attributed to a profile was once designed to place profiles on a trust scale. A person with more upvotes in general would simply, and naturally, be more listened and trust than a person with low or even negative upvotes.
The problem is our brain can easily fall in the trap which has been used by marketing for decades now : the reward circuit.
Thus people prone to make a lot of money abused that, and even raised the problem to an other level with bots and competition. They did so because it creates addiction. And what addiction does create ? Spending money. So you really don’t want profile accumulated upvotes on Lemmy.
Maybe the solution is to show that “something” (that on Reddit was known as karma) only to other users and never ever to yourself 😄
You don’t get buried in other peoples’ comments as easily here
Enjoy your stay and stop worrying about updoots
