Tastes soo good. Don't stop me. I already have 5 upvores on this.

Those are insane ratios, I would never had guessed there would be that much of a difference!

The magic number is 1k.

Remember when the most upvoted post on reddit had 10k upvoted and it was about scooby doo?

I think he's saying that upvoting is a structural problem.

Thanks for sharing.

And I'm disagreeing

There's not dozens, there's THOUSan...d.

If this were any other social software, I'd say "good timing". But since it's Lemmy, I'll say "Shift+F10".

You can't verify the amount of votes it had when I took the screenshot, for that you'll just have to take my word, but you can verify the dates, that I posted at 21:43 my time and the original post was posted 21:30 my time. 8 votes after 13 minutes is actually quite good on Lemmy. Pays off to browse by "Top Hour".

I still don't know what PieFed is.

This might be the most upvoted post I've ever seen on Lemmy so far.

It's another Lemmy. There are several alternative Lemmy's actually: Mbin is another, forked originally off of Kbin, and there was another project Sublinks that was stalled but now is being worked on again. There's also nodeBB, and there was going to be flarum but now I guess that's on hold indefinitely...

The point is that if you are happy where you are at, then you don't even need to care: they all share stuff using the ActivityPub Protocol. Even Mastodon (X/hitter replacement) and Friendica (Facebook replacement), Loops (Tiktok replacement), Pixelfed (Instagram replacement), etc. can all share too - though PieFed and Lemmy (and Mbin and nodeBB) are more closely related, being more or less Reddit replacements, or compatible with that anyway.

PieFed does offer more features than Lemmy - like user polls, user & post flairs, multi-communities that are user-customizable and shareable, etc. But also, the main dev recently and controversially took away people's rights to upvote (hence my joke about fewer contributions from PieFed lately), imposing a confusing and non-transparent quota system for how many votes someone is allowed each day. Like most features it can be enabled or disabled by the instance's admin team, but it is making people wary of switching from Lemmy to PieFed when not just this but other features like it will come in the future - with barely any notice and against massive community push-back.

Then again, Lemmy's main devs are tankies, who promote people on their instance trolling users across the whole Threadiverse calling for the fall of the entire Western civilization and the death of most people therein. So it's not like one software platform is controversial while the other is not - they both are, just in different ways.

But at the end of the day, they all are helping, bc their freely offered FOSS is an enormous boon to us all, who hate Reddit (fuck spez). If you do want to check out PieFed, look at PieFed.zip that has that vote quota disabled and a very sensible admin team. Maybe even make an account, as that sign-up wizard is outstanding, and even use PieFed for a bit as its abilities to discover communities is so much better than Lemmy's - even if you only use that information to let you know which communities to subscribe to on your Lemmy.world main account, it's a nice experience. (And this way whenever your instance goes down due to some technical issue or upgrade, which is rare but does happen, then you'll have another option to jump to for awhile!:-).

Didn't sublinks stall because he had a baby? I remember reading something about it and the plan always being to come back to developing it.
Edit: looks like it stalled for other reasons as well https://discuss.online/post/39386407

Well you’ve got some upvotes here so what’s the game?

Hah yea I actually do believe it, just a head nod to the technical smarts of those here.

PyLova exists to solve those philosophical issues with PieFed.

SIX SEVEN COMMENTS (i ruined it)

Absolutely, and that PieFed fork is coming along quite nicely with a bunch of small features that even PieFed lacks, quite exciting! (And the maintainers are currently looking for more to do, so let them know what you might want to see from it? e.g. I asked for it to show downvotes alongside upvotes and that's already implemented, it's so quick!!!! Changes in Lemmy take like 2 to >5 years, while PieFed & PyLova are both like days to months, its fantastic!!)

A couple things I will say in PieFed's defense is that a LOT of the criticism against it is outright misinformation, and actually it is mostly quite friendly in not only NOT hard-coding filters (as people have claimed but the evidence proved the opposite) but also outright making the provided filters as the most optional feature type imaginable - specifically opt-in.

The vote quota is a departure from that, being opt-out, and also in defiance of massive community push-back. It seems to be boosting the signal that the main dev has been sending for awhile now as in a shift away from Reddit-esque "social media" e.g. shitposting memes and more towards... I dunno, maybe Mastodon serious conversations? The important thing being that all instance admins would now need to be on their guard for "improvements" that are virtually unannounced and simply snuck into the code along with other things. Though all FOSS is that way, and Lemmy is no exception.

The Threadiverse is maturing now, with multiple software options and people holding one another to account. I'm so proud! 😁

jgrims stepped back from daily admin duties of his instance (discuss.online) to more fully focus on developing the software. I imagine we won't hear as much about it now that PieFed (+ even its fork PyLova) are on the scene, being a fully featured, fully functional platform, which raises the bar to compare against.

Thanks for the link, that's interesting!:-)

You could just click on my user name :)

Yesterday was indie Sunday, again tons of views, but less interaction than Lemmy:

There was another one from back in the day when someone asked for advice on how to get along without taking a piss for 3 days straight. That got something like 1-2k upvotes if I remember correctly.

Resharing this to my Friendica account. Just to know where do all these non-threadiverse upvotes are coming from. Cheers!

well, the most upvoted thing I saw here was a post of a dude wanting to keep his piss inside for 3 days straight. It's a striking cultural difference I guess.Scrap that. It's literally just a can of fucking beans

Wait'll you hear about the Lemmy beans - 9.25K upvotes!!

That's super impressive! But I only see 7.86k upvotes. I wonder why that is.

Edit: Oh wow, and adding a third wrinkle here:

• Lemmy.world says 9.25K upvotes
• I was talking below about sh.itjust.works showing 7.86K
• Your home instance Lemmy.ca does not even have this post at all - it has posts from that exact community and from around that time though, so perhaps your admin blocked the OP user account prior to that post being submitted?

It is normal to see such differences, although in this case I am not sure what instance sh.itjust.works may have been defederated from at the time that Lemmy.world was not - perhaps it was hexbear.net prior to Lemmy.world defederating from it? Or a LOT of user accounts on lemmy.world or elsewhere in the Threadiverse but blocked on sh.itjust.works?

It also looks like Lemmy.world's sort by old is broken somehow.

You can see all the individual upvotes and downvotes on lemvotes, but that's a lot for a human to read through.

I guess the OP submitted the post from their home instance, but then the community it was submitted to is located on Lemmy.world so it may be the "official source" in such a case? e.g. if someone were to use the Lemmy instance block feature on sh.itjust.works then this post would still come through, while if someone instance blocked Lemmy.world then it would not, despite the OP's instance being otherwise.

That's weird to be such a noticeable difference between the two!! (Edit: now three)

SubLinks was originally written in Java (which is why it caught my interest) and in the link he says that he wants to move to Python. Perhaps I will revisit SubLinks in ~10 years when I have more free time.

I wonder if that will lose a lot of contributors.

The bigger changes involve the switching to a microservices architecture. He might do better at that point to integrate with other projects - PieFed/PyLova, Lemmy, Mbin, nodeBB, etc. - rather than build a new competitor to all of them, but that's my thousand mile away view and maybe that is simply impossible or at least really difficult.
