there are far fewer users than on Reddit—so it’s kind of quiet over there right now
I don’t even… on my server’s “new” feed, I’m getting posts every minute. Literally. I have no idea how that’s “quiet” lol
The no upvotes or downvotes comment is much more egregious. You can literally check this website and prove that false in less than 5 seconds. Boggles my mind how something so blantly untruthful managed to make it into a major publication.
We are bots
If that’s the article OP is referring to, I only see one typo (a missing /c/) and one laughably false error:
Lemmy does not have upvote and downvote buttons
They don’t say much else.
Have here your upvote
Those don’t exist. I have a source
There seems to be something weird about upvotes, I swear it went from 700 to 1600 in like 5 minutes and there isn’t even content on this post, just a title.
yeah, votes are sometimes being cached by the browser incorrectly, to see actual votes go to your profile, and refresh the page
LOL yep if I refresh the page it shows 11 but after I post a comment it jumps up to 1600.
Lemmy reads wrong data sometimes from the backend. That’s why you’ll see your username flash to someone else’s username sometimes, or the vote count on the post you’re looking at go to the totally wrong vote count. Sometimes it replaces the actual story you’re reading with some totally different, unrelated story.
IDK man, I have trust that as part of the work they’re doing working on any massive number of innumerable minor issues with the platform, fixing that is somewhere in there. 🙂
Yeah it’s not bad at all even now. The upvote count shows 11 now which is much more reasonable.
It’s like someone has told them there’s no karma and they’ve misunderstood. Also kind of misses kbin and Lemmy are federated.
I wouldn’t say everything. The only things they got wrong were them saying that there’s no upvote and downvote buttons, and saying that it’s really quiet due to the lack of users.
