Honestly, Lemmy is starting to really disappoint me. I figured I was leaving most of the circlejerking, reposting, and shitposting behind on Reddit. However Lemmy is every bit just as bad :-/ which is frightening considering how few people are on Lemmy. If it's getting this shitty right now, imagine it if there was a real Reddit migration...
Half my comments just get downvoted for no reason. I told someone I was sorry their houses got messed up by tornados...two down votes. Like I know karma doesn't matter, but it's not fun or encouraging to see and has genuinely made me post less.
One thing I like about Lemmy is that it shows upvotes and downvotes separately in addition to the composite score.
When I make a controversial post that gets 7 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I think "Man, this was a good post. 7 people liked it". On Reddit, I would just think 13 people downvoted it. If anything, on Lemmy downvotes are just proof that I made someone I don't like mad on the Internet, which is great.
Oh? I use Liftoff and don't see that information! I think I'd like that better, too, I think all it's showing me now is the composite.
What do you use so I can check it out? Or is it the default web browser?
I use Jerboa on mobile and the native Lemmygrad UI on desktop.
Thanks, I only tried jerboa briefly after switching from Reddit but quickly stopped using it because lift off had a better theme imo, but I may just not care and prefer extra features! Suppose I could do a feature request for liftoff, too.
