Not all instances have downvotes, but most do
It's nice huh. And no karma stats personally. I love it.
I'm having my first disagreement with what looks like a possible CCP shill here. And their down votes are just not relevant, except to portray that we both disagree with each other. I really like it.
Me too!
Me too! And it's all shit posts :)

Same! I'm posting and commenting more than ever. Gotta add content and spur the discussion!
We are all fighters and we are struggling for better social networks for our children
Feels so nice to show up to a post late and knowing you comment may still get read as opposed to the 3 hour window reddit felt like it had.
I'm definitely reading it! I just joined, I'm going through all the instance's front page stuff. This decentralization is a neat concept. I'm commenting from a totally different server!
It feels great to be using lemmy.
I have genuinely commented here on Lemmy today than I have on Reddit in the past 6 months, maybe longer. Trying my best to do my part, and honestly I find the atmosphere here a lot less intimidating, at least for now. It's fun to watch a new place grow!
New community hype
I have interacted with this post. Gays upon my booty.

In Jerboa I could copy the original comment with all the formatting, had to quote each line individually though, even if I selected all it just quoted the first
This is my first post on shitjustworks. Damn this site and fediverse thing is confusing though.
A common way I've heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn't need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.
The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one "instance" and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There's some nuance to it since it's more complicated than email, but that's the gist of it.
That's a good way of thinking about it.
I just upvoted you and saw the vote increase on two remote instances.
The instances don't seem to agree on your vote count, but both I was watching increased by one shortly after I upvoted you from beehaw.
Yes, looking at the docs linked from a sibling comment I see that upvotes and downvotes are part of the protocol, which is good to see. To prevent vote stuffing however, it does seem that all instances will have a database of upvotes and downvotes and who did them. They were never really secret anyway but it's interesting that any server can see this, it'll be an interesting development to be able to track vote brigading.
There's a bit of technical explanation in the Lemmy Docs here. I haven't looked into it at all but if you're interested, that seems to be a good starting point.
Good bye reddit, hello lemmy!
Would you like to know more?
i'll join you from my own instance! i have one on lemmy.world too but i wanted to try the selfhosted route.
Hello all! Spent the last six years ghosting on Reddit, this is my first comment here :D
First (comment on lemmy)!
Glad to be here!
Realized I can actually choose a username I really like versus the one I made for Reddit when I was on a lunch break.
A man of culture I see!
To me, the best part of reddit was the comments section. Love seeing this site take off!
Am I doing it right? I think I'm doing it right
Now we just have to make a post!
I'm just sad I can't tell people on reddit to come over here, even comments without direct links are being deleted by admins. I just mentioned that there is a star citizen community on lemmy in the subreddit and that comment got deleted without a trace.
@Deathsservant got a link for the SC community?
Here you go /c/starcitizen@lemmy.ml
Mah man!
You can make a picture and post it in a comment. Less convenient but works. Although I have a feeling that people who post about Lemmy too much may get shadowbanned.
Also, maybe your sub is deleting/prohibiting comments as a form of protest?
It feels good to see memes.
I have arrived from Reddit as well
Had exactly this feeling about three hours ago.
To the moon!
2 hour veteran here, 3rd post!!!
Hello World
/not my first comment but any comment works, right? 😄
Second comment! I'm on a roll!
Went from lurking to posting and commenting a bunch here. Love it!
AmIDoingItRite?
reporting in!
I gotta ask, after seeing your name a few times now. Is it literally just from the animal or is it an Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood reference? Or something else?
Love the simplicity in a lot of the usernames early on.
It's Oryx, an old villain from the game Destiny. Give god, the Taken King. Cool dude. I also love seeing people around here, and especially the more simple names. Figured I'd snag a cool, short one from my favorite community in case Lemmy really takes off!
I don't understand what is happening, but I joined a instance? And now I am here?
what I felt like as well lol
Hello World!
Hello everyone also doing their part!
posting to get one on the books
Just doin' my part too.
And my axe?
I'm doing my part!

Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive!
It's my first day
That's a cute meme!
Me too!
generic comment
Never commented on reddit, and here I go on a days old post.
First comment! I’m also doing my part!
Would you like to know more?
here I am
Happy to see that so many others are looking for Reddit alternatives. The lemmy is like Reddit+ and the idea of fediverse is so interesting. Really hope this spike in activity is sustained. Would be very interesting to see the community migrate platforms.
I matter!!
Doing my part 🤓

What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!
