We need more variety here, the sub had sooo much more content. I like what’s here so far but damn we need more dank memes and less saccharine shit. Is this because we can’t post memes?
Those are the most productive posters, poster aristocracy if you will. Some are just better at posting than the rest and deserve more attention. Gommunism debunked!
You mean Top of the day right? There is no “hot” of the day. Hot is just one sort option, all the day/week/month/all are straight sorts by Top.
I think the main problem with Hot right now is that it’s not weighting out a top 3 posts of the day like reddit does. Reddit’s current algorithm is heavily about setting apart 2-3 posts for the day as “super” posts and then the rest battle to get picked as the posts to displace them.
I only browsed by new, so I’m loving the content style feed of the new/comment section
You’ve got to remember that forums are like 90% lurkers, the reason the old sub was so nice is that there were 150 000 users with about 10 000 of them terminally online. If you sort by new the amount of posts is actually pretty good (we have more posts than users atm) but the engagement/upvotes is low compared to the sub as we only have 4000 users atm compared to 150 000 on the sub. It will get better with time when more people join, federation with the different Lemmy instances is implemented and the mobile app comes out. What you can do in the meantime is post and upvote the content you would like to see here.
The crucial thing is maintaining momentum. The moment we stop posting, people will stop coming, and we will enter a death spiral.
Yeah our user growth chart should look like a COVID 19 case chart in the US in a best case scenario.
Up then stable, then up again? Yeah I’d settle for that.
I’m more worried it’ll look like China’s.
show me the rule saying that you can’t post memes and I’ll beat the shit out of it, this is a meme-friendly space
I’ve tried posting my dank memes and it says “score too low” but there’s no way of me knowing my score :'(
feels like the rules set by the mods are suffocating this fledgling space.
not sure on the specifics but there are some kinds of limits based on how much karma you have and possibly other metrics like account age, but it’s not specifically targeting memes
I can’t even see my karma or know how much I need to post :'( This feels like there’s a posting nomenklatura that none of us party members can get into until the amorphous moderating state power apparatus decides we’re worthy
