Upvote Counts Change Rapidly

3 years ago by squarewagon to c/general_discussion

Does anyone else notice how upvotes for some posts and comments are (for example) jumping from 20 to 150 votes and vice versa within the matter of 30 seconds? I am seeing that numbers for posts and comments fly all over the place within mere seconds. Is this just a result of heavy user traffic? Or could it be bots?

I'm pretty sure it's a lemmy issue. I was in a thread that jumped from 2 to 250+ while I was replying. Refreshing the page brought it back to 2. This platform isn't the most stable or fleshed out yet.

Jerboa? I've seen it here and there on some posts. Assumed it was the app, but it could also be related to the update through federation...?
