maybe consider (temporarily? permanently?) hiding vote-count on posts, to make it seem less dead in here. it doesn’t matter how many votes a post has; it just matters whether it’s higher or lower than others. for functional reasons, at least.
i’m seeing nine posts in the last hour, and top rated post of all time at 680 upvotes, both figures being below 1/10th of what appear(ed) on the sub.
that’s by reddit measure, which is “a” measure, the only one most of us have for reference. i suggested upvote hiding because the reduced count may be discouraging.
they are not bad in themselves, however: if i were, say, moderating this place, I’d say these numbers are too damn high because scary x3. and yes, they’re high as hell for general lemmy standards; from everywhere I’ve looked, that’s obvious.
but the “Reddit perspective” is my reasoning for my suggestion, and i think those reasons will fade away anyway as people acclimate to these new figures, much like someone gets used to big numbers being normal on Japanese restaurant menus.
thanks for running this place; i think you’re doing a great job of saving some of this culture
