    What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!

      Only till the trolls arrive and have competitions to try to see how badly they can get downvoted without getting banned.

      It’s nice huh. And no karma stats personally. I love it.

      I’m having my first disagreement with what looks like a possible CCP shill here. And their down votes are just not relevant, except to portray that we both disagree with each other. I really like it.

      I guess there’s more of a chance someone will actually read it when you post here. What’s disturbing me is how many of the comments on Reddit were just bots or farmers? I bet… Many

        Oh yea I saw them in pretty much all of the replies. Many times they just copy pasted another comment. Sometimes was it pretty funny tho because it was so out of place haha

    I’ve gone from a lurker across all other social media to an active… Fedizen? Fedizen. And I’m loving it™

      It feels great not to just belong to a single site but to a federation of many other sites you can almost seamlessly interact with.

        In Jerboa I could copy the original comment with all the formatting, had to quote each line individually though, even if I selected all it just quoted the first

      A common way I’ve heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn’t need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.

      The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one “instance” and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There’s some nuance to it since it’s more complicated than email, but that’s the gist of it.

        Do upvotes and downvotes federate similarly? If so, how does the protocol prevent vote rigging?

          I just upvoted you and saw the vote increase on two remote instances.

          The instances don’t seem to agree on your vote count, but both I was watching increased by one shortly after I upvoted you from beehaw.

            Yes, looking at the docs linked from a sibling comment I see that upvotes and downvotes are part of the protocol, which is good to see. To prevent vote stuffing however, it does seem that all instances will have a database of upvotes and downvotes and who did them. They were never really secret anyway but it’s interesting that any server can see this, it’ll be an interesting development to be able to track vote brigading.

          There’s a bit of technical explanation in the Lemmy Docs here. I haven’t looked into it at all but if you’re interested, that seems to be a good starting point.
