I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Sorta yeah. Comments seem to mostly be sorted by new to old. Upvotes do matter... But not as much as 'Boosting' does to push content to your frontpage.
Why everyone just doesn't hit boost is beyond me but eh. It feels like boost is meant for those especially relevant and nice posts you definitely want others to see vs casually clicking.
I believe Boost is a Kbin thing.
New is definitely the default comment sort that I've seen at least using Jerboa with lemmy.world...
I've never seen this boost option you're talking about though...
I see now that you're on kbin so I wonder if that option only exists there.
