Again, I wouldn't have expected this to have been seen by many people outside of vic, let alone outside of Australia. There's no need to be a dick about it, I just would not have expected it to make it outside of this instance. That is why I was surprised by the upvote count and the timeframe.
Also some people use "Top - Last Hour", so it doesn't take much to get it started. Better than Reddit on that way.
I am on a different lemmy instance altogether. I did not browse either by top>hour or anything. This just showed in the All feed in my app. Kinda like how something hit Reddit's Frontpage, it seemed.
@kirk781 @Serinus I'm not even on lemmy, the Fediverse is quite awesome and not quite as backwater as you might think, reach is an odd thing, not consistent at all but sometimes things really do go far =)
Ditto
I know they're all trying to be I Am Very Smart but damn if the sudden insistence by many people that They Should Speak And Be Heard Despite Having Zero Skin Here You Horrible Gatekeepers is really just supporting the theory skskskks
