By browsing the current top of the day, besides the usual posts in Programmer Humor and the tech communities, you can notice a few posts in !comicstrips@lemmy.world by @otter@lemmy.ca
I find it interesting how the famous 90-9-1 (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/) is at work here, and that for everything you post, you might get hundreds of upvotes almost immediately.
That’s all for now, not really ground-breaking thoughts, but I thought it might be worth sharing.
Take care
I’ve definitely been posting on Lemmy far more than I ever posted on Reddit. Trying to do my share and help this community grow!
I’ve seen this mentality in other threads and I’ll repeat it here - the smaller userbase makes me feel like my comments, thoughts and opinions are actually seen, that I don’t type them out for nothing. I never interacted on reddit, but do a lot more so here.
Definitely a shared feeling
Getting five thoughtful comments and 100 up votes is much nicer than 50 flames and 1,000 votes.
If we don’t want this site to be run by content-aggregation bots, it’s up to us to aggregate.
But for what, really? There’s no incentive to be a karma whore here (a good thing), right? It feels good to see the upvotes, but only because I’m glad I posted something the community likes/agrees with as much as I do. I never post because I think the community would eat it up like candy. The points don’t really carry beyond that specific post, do they?
It’s just a demonstration of the 90-9-1 idea
I’ve been tryin to post as much as I can, but more so doing quality over quantity especially in my own communities
I’m happy my sub got another comment on a post I made.
Hey HobbitFoot! Are you related to the Hobbiton Proudfoots/feet?

We caught him sir. The poster is right here!
