Now do amount of upvotes per subscriber

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

So true, I like tech stuff and even on Lemmy where people are more tech literate, there is mostly just porn politics and memes. I do still like putting in some high quality comments. Allows me to forget about the current state of things.

This one hurts my soul.

I've gotten used to this. The posts where I write several paragraphs and go kinda in-depth on a topic, and even do some research in the background on to make sure I don't talk complete nonsese routinely get no upvotes at all. The ones that rise to the top are snippy one-liner remarks that get a cheap laugh out of people, but honestly don't add anything of substance to the discussion.

Can someone give me the tl;dr version of this comment?

Who cares about votes? These are really just cheap ego boosters.

Cheap ego boosters are still ego boosters. Dopamine go brrrrr

It feels nice when people like a thing you made. Up votes are an easy way to see how many people like it.

You just gotta remember that they're proportional to population. 1000 upvotes on a larger community may be equivalent to 25 on a small one.

Also on Lemmy upvotes don't accumulate on your account like they do on reddit so they don't mean dick in the long run.

I would like to see lemmy experiment with alternative ratios.

Sometimes i would like to see is ranked by “scrolled by/liked” ratio but it might be tricky to get a reliable counter.

More feasible may be a votes/subscribers ratio which would be higher if majority of a smaller space liked it but also could give exponential score if non subscribers start upvoting.

The niche community gets more attention and followers which might be better in the long run.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For that to happen it has to be seen and upvoted to make it into peoples feeds. And that’s the issue with the niche communities, not enough people to get past everything else to be seen on “all” or other places.

Not sure about here, but on Reddit we can cross post which references the source advertising the possibly better run sub / mutiny.
