Looks like it’s still in the planning stages. But looks like a cool project.
You must log in or # to comment.
Hey, this looks familiar. :)
The best way that anyone here can help:
-
if you are an instance admin, to install it and connect with your instance.
-
if you still have an account on Reddit, to sign up to either https://portal.alien.top or https://fediverser.network, find all the subreddits you are interested in and apply for the “community ambassador”.
-
So it is a way for Lemmy instances to let people log in with their Reddit accounts? Neat
That, and to let people get auto subscribed to all the communities that are corresponding to the redditor subscribed subreddits. It solves the onboarding problem completely.

Once again, @catloaf@lemm.ee is to be found on the list of downvoters. So, it’s not just what I say or do, even when someone else talks about my project, they are there.
Seriously, what is the problem you have with me?
I am not catloaf but I have a problem with people literally combing vote logs to call users out in comments. That’s toxic verging on obsessive.
Absolutely not the way to act as the face of a project. It accomplishes nothing besides making you look incredibly petty and dissuades people from supporting your work.
No need to comb anything. Instance admins get to see who voted on any item, right in the UI. And it’s been going for months: if I have a comment or post with a single downvoter, 90% of the cases it’s my friend here.
It’s so weird to keep track of that, and petty on both sides if it has been happening for months like you say.
I also think you are placing way too high importance on vote counts, and specifically pinging people is not the way to handle your disapproval.
They have publicy called out other downvoters before, not the first time. Pretty sure they were not “repeat offenders” (as apparently was also not really the case here).
They don’t seem emotionally stable enough for me to trust them to admin anything i’d use.
No, I do not care about the counts, karma or anything like this. I just like to keep track of repeat, serial downvoters that do not participate in the discussion and resort to passive-aggressive behavior.
Well, you are resorting to actively aggressive behavior in response to internet points.
Yes, I don’t mind dealing with conflict. People being assertive, and even aggressive when arguing their point? All fine by me. As long as you are willing to put yourself out there when criticizing/attacking someone, I can respect you. That does go out the window when people hide themselves behind a mob or “private” voting.
The feature is there, why not use it? It brings some accountability to downvotes
At the moment of you writing this comment, the person in question had downvoted 3 of your comments and 4 of your posts over a span of months. Seems far from a pattern, but the following up and singling out of a particular user doesn’t look good. I’d suggest not focusing on who likes or doesn’t your content since the optics of an admin asking users the reasons for their votes is a very bad one.
That is far far from my “focus”. I don’t mind criticism. I don’t even mind people who openly state reasons to not like me or what I am doing. My problem is what others described: downvoting without actionable feedback.
I am more used to the Hacker News style of moderation, where the mods are used to take a first course of action to (politely) point out what was “wrong” with someone’s action and ask them to stop their behavior. Only unabashed repeat offenders get banned. My “calling out” was an attempt to do that, after a private message went unanswered.
FYI you’re not a mod here, thank god.
I assume you’d also disagree with this? https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/112895701054913465
Oh you downvoted me because you think you’d be a great mod 😂
But you are not a mod here, thank god.
Making it seem like the person was following you around to harass downvote you, fucking dumbass.
You might disagree with him, but no need for insults.
I think an obvious insult is nicer than trying to smear the person downvoting as some notorious downvoter with pretend “admin knowledge”.
I guess you’re a fan of this because they also called out your downvoters before. You are the good guys and the downvoters are the bad guys.
I downvoted you then for the same reason that I am downvoting you now: because you are more interested in making personal attacks and calling names than in a productive conversation.
Also, please re-read my comment. There is an experienced moderator from a reasonably large instance saying “sometimes all that is needed is to call out bad behavior and ask people to stop it”. If you don’t agree with it, fine, but don’t go around saying that only someone “emotionally unstable” would act this way.
In the spirit of “just ask people to stop”, I’ll say this: Can you please drop the needless aggression and name-calling? Let’s try to assume good intentions first?
I think what you do is bad behaviour, worse than just somebody downvoting something. I have told you when i first saw you do this, but you’re still doing it.
What i say about you is what i think about you.
My problem is what others described: downvoting without actionable feedback.
This is exactly why I prefer instances that have downvotes disabled.
Yeah, I am still of the opinion that downvotes can be an important source of signal, but given the prevalence of “I don’t like this, therefore I don’t like you, here is my downvote”, I’m starting to reconsider it.
In my ideal world we would get rid of up/downvotes and just use emoji reactions as a multi-dimensional form of evaluating content quality.
