1.2k subs but how many of them are actually still using Lemmy?
There’s also the fact that I’ve seen others, and myself have experienced, not spending as much time on Lemmy as compared to Reddit so I don’t usually see new posts till a few hours later.
And even if the post is seen, 1.2k subs is not a lot. The subreddit has 1 million members, yet not every post that got traction even reached 10k upvotes, that’s 1% of all members.
1% of this community is about 12, so I’m not surprised to see low upvote counts.
This is just personal preference, but I personally only upvote art posts if the art is really high quality or posted by the original creator, but that’s just me.
Also karma doesn’t exist here anymore, you shouldn’t care about upvotes
You’re preaching to the choir, friend. I know the stats, Lemmy even provides the numbers on unique users that have interacted with a community in the last day, week, month, and half a year. I’m not looking to get drowned in praise or anything. If all I wanted was votes, I’d just spam Lemmy with pics of my cat, and stop trying to make [email protected] a thing.
I don’t care about upvotes. I care about contributing content and getting some indication that at least someone liked seeing it, in return. I don’t care whether that’s a single comment or upvote, but if I don’t see that, why spend the effort? The point here is to contribute, if no-one is around to enjoy what I contribute, I’d rather spend my energy elsewhere.
I don’t look for votes because I want to rack up a bunch of karma, I do it to make sure I’m not wasting my time on things no-one wants to see, or going about posting in a way that isn’t getting visibility.
Due to federation fuckery it looked like this post got nothing, but that was wrong. Realizing that I feel no need whatsoever to be unhappy about the votes this post got.
