For me, personally, it’s more about the focus of votes vs actual discussion. I’m worried it would turn the tides and make people much more focused on the votes than actual discussion. It might make it echo chamber-ish.

I recently disabled showing votes on my side (through Voyager app). Even if I get downvoted a hundred times over, if I just get a respectful discussion with links to (trustable) sources. I’m all alright with that.

I rather not. If it does happen, I’ll just rss Lemmy and stop using my account. I like Lemmy the way it is because there’s not much focus on votes and more on actual discussion.

Quick question regards blocking - how does it work exactly?

When I block someone, I can still see their message. Just won’t get a notification. I thought, it would be blocked entirely - so I’m a bit confused.

Mistyped. Should’ve been “DB0 Piracy”. Which is the exact instance that got blocked by LW.

Come to be the dark side, DB0 zero Piracy!

When I try to follow while being logged in, it says ‘‘Could not find community’’ error.

So FireFish is similar to Tumblr? Because that’s what I’m looking for at the moment.

One question:

If you do not like it here then why are you here?

Content is decent/ good, certainly it is not as much as Reddit but hey - Lemmy is just getting started. While Reddit has been there for what? 7 years? Longer?

Got the same issue with my notebook but not with the desktop.

When I asked somewhere, I got downvoted. Tried different browser, no luck.

So for now, phone apps for Lemmy.
