Now time to do the same thing here hahaha! Reddit 2:.the quest for more money. Seriously when is that movie coming out?
Like the first franchise but with an all-woman cast?

Didn’t they make a cartoon at one point?
First time I’ve seen a comment so good that not only does it get upvotes, it has a negative number of downvotes,
Anyone know how that is even possible?
Science and fuckery
Which app is that?
It looks like the lemmy.world website, not an app.
Ahh ok
Yes. However you can install a PWA (progressive web app) via chrome and firefox (perhaps other browsers but those are the ones I use). The PWA allows you to use lemmy when logged into your instance of choice and it acts like a mobile app. To install, go yo your instance in a browser, then check our options. For chrome, it says add to home screen. I believe firefox it says install app.
I guess they show upvotes and downvotes instead of net upvotes/downvotes.
It’s been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it’s probably more common to see 100% upvotes.
I think it’s cool some communities allow you to see the amount of up and down votes.
Personally I feel that what Reddit has been using for nearly 20 years was successful because it worked, the negativity that inevitably comes with large groups of people was the only issue and a lot of Lemmy users think it’s the basic systems that worked.
Karma added a little boost to activity and engagement, while upvote/downvote helped curate content at a site wide level.
The value of these made up points is directly correlated with the size of the overall group and the larger Lemmy grows, the more it will have the same issues, it’s just a matter of how long we get to enjoy this environment before it outgrows us etc.
The only important thing is that while we still can, we try to reinforce to people that the vote itself is matter of quality and appropriateness to the community the comment/post is in, as apposed to whether the thing is liked etc.
I havent looked at code, so i can only guess. Just before you looked at it, i clicked downvote. I realise my mistake and unclick/click it again. The local server we’re browsing on (Server A) sends the downvote to the server the post was made on(Server B), but it also temporarily adjusts it local figure for a while until it can refresh from the server the post was made on. Last it knew server B had a tally at 0 downvotes, so it goes negative. (If Server A had a downvote figure of 4, the same process would have shown 3 to you)
I downvoted you. No one else had any downvotes; please let me know if it registered. I don’t want vote fuckery like they have on reddit.
It registered, I see the downvote. The reason you don’t see downvotes on most comments is that most people here don’t give them out for no reason, so there just aren’t any to display.
Pretty sure the negative downvotes weren’t intentional manipulation, my best guess was some cross-federation code interacting weirdly. Though it’s fixed now anyway, you responded to a comment that was 17 days old.
Thanks for the reply

Locals only! Haole go home!
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I’m doing.
#fediverse is nicer then reddit. Dosen’t have that superiority complex!
It’s pretty chill here. I’m using wefwef.app to browse. It’s great.
If you’re on an iPhone I’ve been using wefwef and liking it.
It’s all about appearances
Welcome! I can point you to !bicycles@lemmy.ca if your interested.
Thanks for the work you did on the SF sub; I got the sense it could be a handful on occasion. Nice to recognize some of the cool ex-redditors here. I modded /r/chaosmagick and a half-dozen other tiny subs. It’s pleasant to get away from the flustercuck spez has turned reddit into.
I think we are still figuring out sophisticated mod tools, but the community is nice, the admins are awesome, and everyone seems to be pretty much on the same page about an open and cooperative internet.
lemmy.world/c/bayarea is sort of active. I hope this site doesn’t fade out of popularity similar to the migration to voat back in the day. I do think the federation of lemmy will prevent a repeat of what’s currently going on with reddit ruining itself and 3rd party apps. Still learning how to use this site myself.
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
@Axxi
Things seem to be better here anyways. Being able to interact with people across different platforms (I’m replying to your comment through Mastodon because it works and it’s cool 😎) really does make it feel like “the world of tomorrow” to me
I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.
I’m going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!
Add in Whiskey and you’ll have the perfect trifecta of vice!
Welcome! Where do I sign up?
One of our Futurama mods @Alchemy had you covered !whiskey@lemmy.world
Aww! It’s Lemmy.world so I’m already signed up.
Bathroom’s that way.
Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.
Hiii im here from reddit but, when i tried to post the post has been being uploaded for the past 2 hours, also loading communities and upvoting has been EXTREMELY slow ;'D
btw this is a hella cool site
This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy 👋
I sense a real opportunity for the Fediverse off the back of Reddit and third party apps porting across.
If the UX (user experience) is similar then it’ll more than likely pull people across.
So far the communities have been extremely friendly and it is a breath of fresh air
Redditor here. Feeling a little lost and confused. :)
Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.
