dear god what the hell

sorry is that from like, a second spotted hyena pack??

edit: oh just missed that sticker because i haven't used it

is that like the evil red sans undertale version of the master sword

she's just looking for like-minded... piers...

which UI?

i'm seeing nine posts in the last hour, and top rated post of all time at 680 upvotes, both figures being below 1/10th of what appear(ed) on the sub.

that's by reddit measure, which is "a" measure, the only one most of us have for reference. i suggested upvote hiding because the reduced count may be discouraging.

they are not bad in themselves, however: if i were, say, moderating this place, I'd say these numbers are too damn high because scary x3. and yes, they're high as hell for general lemmy standards; from everywhere I've looked, that's obvious.

but the "Reddit perspective" is my reasoning for my suggestion, and i think those reasons will fade away anyway as people acclimate to these new figures, much like someone gets used to big numbers being normal on Japanese restaurant menus.

thanks for running this place; i think you're doing a great job of saving some of this culture

maybe consider (temporarily? permanently?) hiding vote-count on posts, to make it seem less dead in here. it doesn't matter how many votes a post has; it just matters whether it's higher or lower than others. for functional reasons, at least.

we should ban naming things

3.0's about blockchain; the problem you're describing is like, late-stage 2.0. not to defend the app fetish or advocate for 3.0 by any means, lord no

interesting, thank you thank you for the tip! ActivityPub (the rails all these apps run on) is cool as hell; i just checked and yes I can follow my account right here from my Mastodon. i'm from old Reddit though so the idea of following an account on a Reddit-like is still icky and new but i'll probably get used to it here in this new setting x3
