  • You are probably right on your pessimism. Growing communities is hard. That’s why I’m trying to focus the efforts in a few, but more than 1 community. Which community will succeed in the long term is impossible to predict, so I think it’s better to just keep trying with different ones.

    I find [email protected] a very good attempt. If I get it correctly, is like fakehistoryporn but for movies, right? I think that’s the kind of niche-but-not-too-niche topic that could work. I’m not very familiar with the format but I will keep it in mind in case I find something worth posting.

    Thanks for the efforts and the feedback!









  • I’m not an expert, so those who know more, please correct me.

    FYI: with the script User Details on Hover you can also see karma in Lemmy. Example.

    From what I understand, there are technical issues with this. Allowing people to hide the karma if they want is easy. But blocking people for seeing karma even if they want is much harder. Note that if you want karma for posts and comments (to be able to sort the most voted ones), then the user karma is just a very easy query away (just sum the karma of that user’s posts and comments). EDIT: I realize that this would not solve the issue either: There are technical ways to do anonymous and auditable voting, but I think that would be too overkill for the fediverse.
