Is anyone else upvoting every comment and thread or is it just me? (lemmy.ml)

Whereas I might’ve been less generous with upvotes on Reddit, I think it’s important in these early formative stages to let others know that I appreciate their contributions. I hope it encourages growth and activity!

Absolutely, I've done more posting/commenting/upvoting in the last days than I've done on reddit in the last year.

isnt it great to know you are making a positive difference?!

[–] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, feels less like a drop in the bucket.

[–] cablepick@lemmy.cablepick.net 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah me too. It’s the only way we can make this work.

right now I am using the upvote as an "I see you, friend". its more important to me that we have interaction of any type while we try and grow this thing.

I am using the upvote as an "I see you, friend".

I absolutely love this. Lol. I never thought of it this way.

I’m doing my part. Upvote and participate. Being the opposite of lurker that I was

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

bingo!

[–] 0485919158191@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I agree. It’s more important now than ever!

[–] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely more generous with my upvotes on here.

[–] pancake@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

I've been upvoting every comment and thread since I joined lol. Now for the first time it's actually becoming harder to keep track of them!

Yep I really feel like it makes a difference

[–] 21trillionsats@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago

Same haha. Let’s get this fucking party started!

[–] DidacticDumbass@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

I basically only upvote when I like something but do not want to comment.

[–] lemmy_steve@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I'm upvoting everything at the moment. I want my fellow users to feel like they matter and are well received, hopefully something that will spur them on to contribute more.

[–] PeefJerky@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I try to comment on posts because it’ll increase the engagement of the site and new comers wouldn’t feel that it’s empty.

[–] archchan@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Yes... I've been doing that across other parts of the Fediverse like Mastodon and Pixelfed. And now Lemmy.

[–] 0485919158191@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I agree. It’s more important now than ever!

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I also use it to be able to more easily find new comments on threads
