There’s so much spam, and people diligently downvote. But the posts are still shown, with -53 votes or something.

When a post is clearly unwanted, could it be hidden?

    “Reddit is fun” had a feature with a vote threshold, it was something like “don’t show posts with a score lower than ___.”

    This would be tremendously useful to have in Voyager. As an improvement, that setting could have a sub-setting, a list of communities where this setting does not apply.

      I would probably want this in some sort of score/percentage mix. Like if a post had 15 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I would probably still want to see it as it just means it’s something controversial rather than low effort/quality. However going off of percentage alone wouldn’t work well in the beginning if it was immediately downvoted two or three times.

      So probably more like:
      score lower than {user_defined_low_score} AND score % less than {user_defined_low_percent}

      We could also probably apply this to comment scores as well so we can avoid having to look at 2 users being petty towards each other… like what played out in one of the other replies to this comment.

        And? You think this site needs to be enshittified because a good feature was used by reddit first?

        Petty comment imo.

            This is not discussing federation, this is discussing a feature in one specific client. One that happens to overlap with RIF a lot in terms of functionality.

                Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

                Lmao, so after reading that did ypu figure out the answer to what you were asked?

                A federation of what? It literally says it in your comment.

                It’s a 1 sentence answer, just a hint since you don’t read very well.

        My threshold is -10, so I wouldn’t have even written this reply if that feature existed!

        Unless I felt like manually uncollapsing your comment, lol
