I found it complicated at first (didn’t know which instance “will last”, where to register to not lose anything when instance admin decide to turn it down), but now it’s going good. We are missing mobile apps though.
Yep you are right, that’s it. I guess I chose the wrong instance. But this is the advantage of the fediverse. It would be nice to have some table that shows the features in each instance so that we could decide which is the right one for us. I just chose based on the direction I got from lemmy.ml.
I do wonder if it’s entirely disabled or just on the default web interface. The Mlem app still gives me the option to downvote things.
I don’t even necessarily disagree with the sentiment of not having downvotes on a platform, but it seems weird to give that up as one server on a federated network, considering anyone from other instances could presumably still downvote posts on here.
I do as well. At least the threads I’ve read through, most of the time reddit was pretty good about downvoting the shit out of a comment that has misinformation or the user is being a dbag (racist, sexist, unnecessarily negative, etc) which was one of my favorite things. I could always count on users to call out those types of comments. It made searching for answers and information so easy and also amusing
Sometimes I would run across a comment that just downvoted purely for their opinion, which was one of the problems it had, but in my opinion (10+ years on reddit), it doesn’t seem nearly as often as people claim
To answer the thread: I like it, I use Jeroba for Android but I’m a long time user of reddit boost which I think is way ahead. I’m not a fan of the website yet but I just think it’s a little confusing

I miss downvotes. How do I get a post that I have no interest in to leave my feed?
Other than that, pretty happy.
Am I missing something I see a downvote button?
It looks like the lemmy.one instance disables the downvote button. My other account on lemmy.ml has it enabled.

Yeah I could log into lemmy.one on mlem and still downvote, so just removed from UI. But it was enough to make me migrate to lemmy.world.
Beehaw also disables downvotes.
