I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.
Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.
It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha
What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know
What do you mean with smoke and mirrors?
Votecount on Reddit is fuzzed (obfuscated) and does not show individual upvote and downvote numbers.
IIRC, the upvotes used to be a 1:1, so 1 upvote meant one person liked it. Later they added some ‘fuzzing’ which caused the number you see on a post to be inflated. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
