    Yeah it’s nice to upvote and comment here to show activity since we aren’t that many. :)

    The only time it sucks to not get upvoted is when you’re downvoted because there’s a bot on you so the things you post won’t be seen.

      Fortunately upvotes/downvotes on Lemmy do not affect visibility.

        That isn’t true.

        Feeds can be sorted. The instance you are on sets defaults, but you can change them for yourself.

        New shows them based on the latest post, Old is oldest post. New comments is based on the latest comment. Most comments is as it says.

        Most other options (Active, Hot, Scaled, Top, Controversial) use up/downvotes, You can see it detailed here.

            I have most on hot because that seems to show the best posts. I never remember to switch it to new, so it definitely hides some posts.

        This is untrue. It depends on your sorting option. It does change sorting for “hot” for example. You can also sort exclusively by upvotes I think, as well as controversial. Active it does not matter though I don’t think.

          This is partly true. While upvoting has some effect, boosting (at least on Kbin) has a much greater effect on sorting. For example, no comments were boosted on this thread, with Omgarm’s 12 upvote comment below 1984’s 42 upvote comment when using hot sorting. I boosted Omgarm’s comment and it is now at the top of the page despite have less than half the upvotes.

    It takes a while to kick habits, the feeling of “who the fuck will ever see this comment” keeps stopping me from posting half the time. At least on Lemmy there’s plenty of chance someone will.
