A thousand upvotes? Is this reddit?

What's the exchange rate of Reddit karma to Lemmy nothings?

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Reddit karma uses a logarithmic function to determine the karma on a post. The first upvotes give 1 karma each, but the higher the number gets the less karma you get from additional upvotes.

This isn't even some theory based on observations, the reddit algorithm used to be completely open source so you can see how it works on github (or at least how it used to work 7 years ago).

Front page reddit posts with 50k points most likely have over a million upvotes in reality

Crazy that this is how I found out about this. I guess that's what I get for not being enough of a repost bot ๐Ÿ˜”

1,763.64:1

From 97 million active users from reddit vs 55k users from Lemmy.

Well, at least you won't find bots farming karma

Why not? Lemmy doesn't seem bot proof. Quite the opposite really.

[-] Kumasousa@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Becasue you don't have much value to farm accounts on Lemmy since you don't have karma

[-] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

The bots here are too busy spreading propaganda and shilling for mega-corps.

Yup, it's like the Apple ads of the early 2000s claiming the don't get viruses

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 week ago

I didn't even know the counter could go to 4 digits.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's the equivalent of going viral around here lol

[-] kane@femboys.biz 2 points 1 week ago

How does it feel, going viral?!

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

1k upvotes here is like the equivalent of 50k on Reddit (probably I'm operating on dated info, who knows how much they screwed with the upvoting system by now lmao)

Welcome to the private forum ;)

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I wouldn't even really call this a private forum, though. Anybody can join for free with minimal effort.

Now, SomethingAwful is a private forum, I paid them ten bucks to join. And to be honest I like their style. It's a cheap one time payment for permanent membership but if you're being an asshole and get yourself perma banned, you're going to pay another tenner to rejoin. It's a great anti-troll and anti-botting feature.

I don't think that strategy would work well for the Fediverse and I don't recommend it as such. But that's what I'd consider a "private forum".

[-] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Nah I meant in Reddit when you reach special karma number for a post you had special sub opened based on your karma.
