Posters need viewers and vise versa. One cannot function without the other. So no I reject your appeal to authority fallacy.

Felt like the momentum of the instance picked up enough that it was self sustaining.

Up to you.

I posted when this instance first started and there was nearly nothing. So yeah I would and did. I didnt complain about the down votes and wasnt demanding up votes either.

I’m entitled to nothing, posts or votes. You are entitled to nothing as well.

Lol I’m sorry but you’re are entitled to nothing when posting. If people like it, great you get upvotes. No one is entitled to those votes though. If you were, then they’d be meaningless (or at least more meaningless haha)

Id say enable it. There is no complex algorithm that promotes content based on up and down votes like with sites like YouTube. If people want niche stuff that performs poorly on All > Top, they can see it on the niche sub for that content in their subscriptions or directly on the sub page. Having a low score doesnt delete posts.

Having to enumerate every single rule on a sub would be horrific and more importantly preference can’t be written into rules. What a community likes and doesnt like is based on the voting system, thats the fundamental point of Lemmy and reddit.

Thinking you can post whatever you want and expect all the exposure without regards to a communities tastes just because it doesnt explicitly violate rules is entitlement.

You aren’t entitled to exposure. Voting the good up and the less good down is the fundamental basis of sites like Lemmy and Reddit. As a content creator/poster it of course hurts when your stuff isnt enjoyed by the community, but its the decision of the users what gets big and what doesnt.

Separating things into their own corner is literally the point of subs.

Thanks

Trigger discipline REEEEEE

If unenthusiastic handjob was a handjob, it would be this handjob.

Sorry not sure, I wish I knew too

So I understand the prioritizing safety for legal reasons. But I don’t get why you’re so concerned with staying federated with non-NSFW instances. Making a different account for NSFW content is very common, and other NSFW instances are unlikely to be very concerned about fringe (but legal) kink stuff and want to defederate.

If for example lemmy.world (or beehaw if they haven’t already) defed’d this instance, why do we care?

Also seeing this issue. I feel bad skipping giving an upvote on great content but rescrolling to the correct place is a pain

These settings worked for me! Only problem is if I upvote something it collapses every image, losing my place on the page. Anyone else experiencing that?

Typically 1-2 times during the weekends. Work stress keeps the weekend only theme fairly consistent, but the frequency otherwise feels ideal
