Just a heads up OP, you added an extra semicolon and slashes in the embedded link. It'll try to redirect people to "http://;//www.victorgnarly.com", which doesn't resolve. Great content in any case!

Thanks for letting me know I actually had already made the correction but I guess it hadn't updated on everyone's instances yet. I'll be sure to triple check my links before posting.

You may THINK there's no karma, but then one day....

But there is karma?

It would be nice if we could create post/communities that only sort comments on recency. I never did like the whole reddit upvote downvote button for comments.

Upvote and downvote is a great system provided it shows both and doesnt reduce it to positive or negative only.

The system is meant to show good content from bad content, by showing the total amount of up and down votes. Reddit got rid of that system years ago and just showed the sum of votes which is where the "hive mind" mentality came from. Used to be you'd see a post with dozens of upvotes and downvotes and it would tell you that the content itself was usually of high quality, it was just a controversial take. If a post had 450 downvotes and 400 upvotes you'd know they were speaking for about half of the site, whereas if it only shows "-50" you'd think they are a huge minority.

As long as karma doesn't exist and the total amount of all votes are displayed, I think it's a far better system than just showing every comment based on it being recently posted. If we did that you'd have spam everywhere and you would have to dig through a dozen low effort comments to get the best engagement.

In the menu below the post, click on 'New'.

I don't think there is a way on Jeroba?

[–] twazzyPhoenix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, when you go into the thread the top right has the lines icon for the menu to sort comments how you want.

Hmm I wonder if I need to update or something. I definitely can not find it ): Good to know it's supposed to be there though

How long will it remain that way? I’m sure operating costs will eventually require introducing ads into the mix, or is there some sort of structural safeguard that prevents ads from eventually showing up?

If a true reddit migration does happen (which I honestly doubt for a number of reasons, technical issues aside) and selfhosting is too expensive, I'm confident the community here can funnel a means to support the server without introducing ads to the feed or site directly.

I can picture a mall for Lemmy merch. Kurzgesagt discusses their financing in this video and paralleling that business model with trendy bullshit sounds like a winner to me. Lemmy.world Calendar anyone?
