Bro casually mentioned whole lemmy population

This feels like our mascot, no further questions

2k on Lemmy? that would be like all of us 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have a 265 comment upvote. That's like 30% of the lemmy population.

I've got a 118 and I'm pretty sure I'm almost a cult leader now.

200 here and it was

pornFoodporn, something i coocked and ate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Coocked, that's some new word

584 here!

But it was during the Reddit exodus and an off-the-cuff complainpost about something that I didn’t miss from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

My friend uses reddit religiously still. And keeps sending me links to posts there. So, I send him lemmy posts.

SatanMCF got a -185 vote once, and I presume that wasn't its bottom. (he's against OHS)

MAU is currently at about 45k, up from the low point of about 30k six months ago. The exodus spike subsided over a long time but now that users that didn't stick have been shed, you can see the user base growing again, though slowly.

I got 2.7k on a post, but I just got lucky.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My best post has 343 and my best comment has 78 upvotes. I feel useful :)

Honestly I got like 300 something on a progress photo and it sent my confidence to the moon. Prettiest I've ever felt.

I'm honored any time a comment passes 10

Edit: I wake up and I am honored

This man is a hero. Cherish him.

'tis the highest honour

What's nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

And that's why I love this place

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Each upvote is also less likely to be a bot.

The highest level of achievement is missing: Getting only two downvotes on Stackoverflow

Getting 10 million likes on YouTube is astronomically more difficult than any of the others

Edit: For reference, the most liked YouTube video on the platform only has x5 that amount, at 53 million likes and 8.5 billion views.

You forgot 'getting 200 upvotes on PornHub for that episode of SpongeDick RoundPants'...

/s

I got 1k on a post and that kept me going for a few days.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, except if you are a member of a troll bot farm. Lemmy allows easy creation of accounts and even networks of it so upvotes mean nothing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I haven't experienced bot presence on Lemmy nearly as much as other platforms. It feels like Reddit years ago: small, but tight communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.

Can't be that old, Lemmy was even more minuscule until about a year ago.
