2k on Lemmy? that would be like all of us ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 82 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I have a 265 comment upvote. That's like 30% of the lemmy population.

[โ€“] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've got a 118 and I'm pretty sure I'm almost a cult leader now.

I got 141 once, that's 3 digits. Another 3 digit number is 999 which is half way there to 1998 which is 2k anyway. So I basically got 2k and I am famous on Lemmy AMA.

Questions:

  1. How did you get this good at math?
  2. Is someone with a post with 142 upvotes even more famous than you or is that impossible?

SatanMCF got a -185 vote once, and I presume that wasn't its bottom. (he's against OHS)

Hey, it's happened once in the past month!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

MAU is currently at about 45k, up from the low point of about 30k six months ago. The exodus spike subsided over a long time but now that users that didn't stick have been shed, you can see the user base growing again, though slowly.

'tis the highest honour

[โ€“] [email protected] 72 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What's nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

And that's why I love this place

[โ€“] Uplink 15 points 1 month ago

True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Each upvote is also less likely to be a bot.

My best post has 343 and my best comment has 78 upvotes. I feel useful :)

Honestly I got like 300 something on a progress photo and it sent my confidence to the moon. Prettiest I've ever felt.

The highest level of achievement is missing: Getting only two downvotes on Stackoverflow

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Has... Has that ever been accomplished??? The elders must know!

Also not enough information to say this is an issue have you just tried checking your logs?

And the highest level of disappointment is finding a 10 year old stack overflow post that is exactly the problem you're having, but then discover that not only does it not have an answer but you're the one who asked it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You forgot 'getting 200 upvotes on PornHub for that episode of SpongeDick RoundPants'...

Getting 1 star on GitHub

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Getting 10 million likes on YouTube is astronomically more difficult than any of the others

Edit: For reference, the most liked YouTube video on the platform only has x5 that amount, at 53 million likes and 8.5 billion views.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Wild. I would've thought it to be a MrBeast video, not a music song to be the highest upvoted one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Not saying getting 10 mil likes is easy, because it's not, but that ratio of likes to views is pretty low in your example. Mr beast has 30 mil likes for a video with 150 mil views, for example. (Which, in all fairness, has a much higher ratio than average, but still)

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

As if everyone on Lemmy is going to vote 200 times.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey I'd settle for 10 million likes on YouTube... In views alone thats worth like $100k in ad revenue. But given that likes are typically only 10% of viewership, that means a video liked by 10 million probably has 100 million views. Which is about $1 million in ad revenue for just that video, assuming a low end payout of $0.01 per view.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That's not a low end payout per view. Typically it's a fraction of a cent (USD) per view. Typically ads pay out per 1000 views, and the average of that is $0.38. To make the math easier, we'll call it $0.50 per 1000 views, or $0.0005 per view. On top of this, YouTube takes their 45% cut, which means you're looking at more like $0.00025 per view. Of course, that's the average, and for a larger channel with the right audience you're more likely to see a CPM (cost per mille, mille being 1000 in French) of a few dollars. Let's call it $5.00, which would come to a CPM of $0.005, or roughly $0.0025 after YouTube takes their cut. That's still $25,000 for 10 million views, which is a ton of money, but I think people have a tendency to overinflate how much money comes from Youtube ads.

Not getting yelled at on the Linux kernel mailing list

I got 1k on a post and that kept me going for a few days.

You're almost there lol

My personal record is 1568 score on lemmy.world account

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

We can do it! Dare to dream!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I assume this is how it is, idk I'm new here

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, except if you are a member of a troll bot farm. Lemmy allows easy creation of accounts and even networks of it so upvotes mean nothing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I haven't experienced bot presence on Lemmy nearly as much as other platforms. It feels like Reddit years ago: small, but tight communities.

[โ€“] Uplink 3 points 1 month ago

Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.
