I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.

      Right now upvote is just a metric for me to see how active the place is, otherwise don’t care

        I treat it like an acknowledgement button for the replies I get.

      No, you’re going to take my upvote and you’re going to like it! I DEMAND TO LEAVE POSITIVE IMPACT!

    Nope. For whatever reason, I was drowning in upvotes in the other place. But to be honest, I don’t even know how many I get here, because thankfully, it’s only tallied per post rather than per person/account

    i’ve said this before but because there’s a small community vibe across lemmy and kbin it’s much easier to be heard and seen. a lot of people are interested in building communities here which drives engagement way up.

    Something important to realize is, upvotes attributed to a profile was once designed to place profiles on a trust scale. A person with more upvotes in general would simply, and naturally, be more listened and trust than a person with low or even negative upvotes.

    The problem is our brain can easily fall in the trap which has been used by marketing for decades now : the reward circuit.

    Thus people prone to make a lot of money abused that, and even raised the problem to an other level with bots and competition. They did so because it creates addiction. And what addiction does create ? Spending money. So you really don’t want profile accumulated upvotes on Lemmy.

      Maybe the solution is to show that “something” (that on Reddit was known as karma) only to other users and never ever to yourself 😄

    Personally it depends. Back in reddit, my quippy remarks/attempts to be funny seem to get a decent upvote rate, but for more serious comments/questions/discussions, lemmy definitely has more interaction

    No idea. I’m not worried about em. This space feels way more like home now though. Almost like that other place a decade or more ago.

    Not really but I have lost the care about upvote/downvote. Reddit has shown me - that caring for it, is BS.

    In one moment you have it and the other moment, it’s gone. Because they can take it away, ban you etc.

    I would even prefer it if there was an option to disable the visibility of the upvote/downvote.

    You don’t get buried in other peoples’ comments as easily here

    Enjoy your stay and stop worrying about updoots

    Also your inbox blows up with post/comment replies - and they’re not snippy argument-starters either. Feels good man.

      The snippy comments were the worst, sometimes even completely off of normal comments too like a snippy response to “Oh my God, I love high dives too! They are somewhat more rare these days, but a lake around here still has a few jump platforms. The only other one I’ve been to was in a swim complex in Germany”

    One upvote means at least one person appreciates you. More than that, there are no karmas or anything. You can use the votes to see the most appreciated comments, though.

    Not really, but less folk to upvote so understandable.
