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.

Stop caring about upvotes, you’ll live a happier life.
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!
You don’t get buried in other peoples’ comments as easily here
Enjoy your stay and stop worrying about updoots
It’s actually not that different for me because I knew how to get points even in a huge thread; but I don’t want upvotes, I just want to talk and also don’t want a question to be downvoted and buried without being answered.
I do but I’m not actively trying to piss anyone off here, so I guess that it’s deserved?
There’s no karma so what’s the point. It’s a bit of a dopamine chase anyway.
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
Similar experience to yours for me.
It is tallied per account, whatever client you’re using just isn’t showing it to you.
Same thing in the end
Is it by server? My home server doesn’t appear to show it.
Nope, it’s just by whatever client you use. You have a comment score of 88 and a post score of 3.
Huh. Thanks for letting me know! I just use jerboa and the website in dark mode.
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.
Yep everyone here is much kinder, smarter and better looking
Not even a little bit. I felt like Usher in the early 2000s, just drowning in … You get the idea.
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.
I actually used an extension that hid karma scores.
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.
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.
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
