First time I've seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
I downvoted you. No one else had any downvotes; please let me know if it registered. I don't want vote fuckery like they have on reddit.
It registered, I see the downvote. The reason you don't see downvotes on most comments is that most people here don't give them out for no reason, so there just aren't any to display.
Pretty sure the negative downvotes weren't intentional manipulation, my best guess was some cross-federation code interacting weirdly. Though it's fixed now anyway, you responded to a comment that was 17 days old.
Thanks for the reply
Science and fuckery
It's been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it's probably more common to see 100% upvotes.
Locals only! Haole go home!
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.
Bathroom's that way.
I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I'm replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it's cool 😎) really does make it feel like "the world of tomorrow" to me
Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.
Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.
I've been here a week or two now. It's going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
Woo
Here we go.
First post! 🤸
Thanks for the warm welcome! I used Apollo since 2018 and I was disappointed with how reddit treated Christian.
Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.
Good news everyone! I’ve just smelled out an entirely new parallel dimension called the fediverse
Heelo there
Cheers! Here's hoping for a bright future!

Apollo refugee here! Let’s hope this sticks because I lost all trust in Reddit.
What's to stop a single Lemmy instance from going "this is taking too much time and money to run, I'm shutting this server down"? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it's all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.
What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?
First post here!
As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.
Thank you for the warm welcome. Any tips and tricks for us Reddit refugees?
This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.
I was a Digg! refugee.
After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.
I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.
Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you're banned. You can't have a discussion there anymore

Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.
My first comment on Lemmy!
Rip Rif. Hello Lemmy.
I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!
NGL
it doesn't feel great, but change is never easy. but this thing is pretty damn cool
Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^
Testing Lemmy using my browser, what’s the best app?
boost for lemmy is coming soon on google play store (at least to G play store) Very similar to boost for reddit we had before. Will personally probably install it.
