The dopamine kick from getting updoots is real, I’d spend way too much time just trying to figure out what gets upvoted to game it. I speed ran an account to 125k in a few months. It’s compulsive and addicting.

A week on here and I’m enjoying the learning experience, conversations with a broader range of opinions, less hive mind, and not checking my karma constantly, and as a result it feels better.

    There are several other options for sorting comments, you don’t have to keep it chronological…

    How are you viewing? On Lemmy in the instance I’m in I can sort comments by hot, top, new and old on the web and I can sort by top, new and active via Mlem (iOS beta app).

    Your case almost reads like satire. So extreme. Another reason to not miss reddit and its excessive gamification among with other terrible features. You make redditors look like zombies. No offense.

      None taken, I didn’t start out that way on there, and at the time I didn’t have the self awareness as to how compulsive it was.

      I used to laugh at others when they moaned about their fake internet points, the irony!

    I always sorted by new on my favorites. Waiting for a sort by new for comments here soon hopefully.

        Are you using the play store version or I guess there’s a different way to install the alpha? I’m using the store version and can’t change comment ordering

          Well now I’m not sure if I saw it or if I’m gaslighting myself or something, I swear I was doing this earlier.

            Looks like there’s a new option on the website settings - sort type = new comments but doesn’t seem to carry over to Jerboa…oh well, little improvements here hey

    how do people from Reddit feel about how comments are chronologically listed instead of ranked by voting?

    I want to be able to choose the default for my profile. Generally, I like the filter options here more.
