Time to invest in Persona Management software

It's amazing this isn't against the rules, especially the stacking of votes.

From what I've seen from experimenting, the only accounts that seem to have weight on each other on lemmy are my lemmy and kbin accounts. There is definitely room for abuse if I were to make many lemmy accounts accross different instances, which I have seen people abuse, especially on lemmy's version of r/place.

I get maybe 2 upvotes at most, and even then I don't usually upvote my own content because it's unsatisfactory. Upvotes tell me people are engaging with my content and like what they see. It does me no good if I know it's just me. The only time I've ever upvoted my own content is on very small communities where no one on would ever see the content otherwise.

I try to be ethical with my interactions with fediverse, but I definitely see the room for abuse.

But I suspect people doing this are more about getting exposure for a point of view or link.

If you post on lemmy and boost on kbin your followers on mastadon I think can see it as a post. So it pushes it all around without a repost and links back to the original.

I think it is pretty good that this stuff works together mostly seamlessly.

Abuse?

I regularly get hit by bot waves downvoting all of my content.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Saw your post about the grad users basically entertaining the idea of bot spamming lemmy users. That's pretty sick if they're doing it.

I don't think therr would be a proper way to engorce it either. The whole idea is yo be able to pack your things to amy instance at a moments notice. Mixed with how there is no central record of accounts and their IPs and everything is so spread out, there is no way of knowing if someone is a sockpuppet or just a backup

People here talking to themselves? That's whack!

Omg I remember reddit "celebrities".. I hope that doesn't come over here on Lemmy. Only Lemmings of interest should be the developers doing amazing work.

Can you explain briefly what is the difference between Firefish and Mastodon? I checked Firefish and looks the same but on white.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Can I have my fediverse on rye?

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefish is more tumblr-y, mastodon more twitter-y. Both are good, have their pros and cons. It's a matter of preference. Firefish is extremely easy to set up though, like ridiculously so.

[โ€“] benjihm 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe ease of setup will make it a more popular introduction to the fediverse in the long term. It's how centralised platforms got most of us

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Just started using it. First impressions, it's definitely feels more unique than mastodon, and has features its missing. Like there are reactions in addition to favoriting a post, and you can quote post. At this point, It kinda feel's like Mastodon's kbin.

F. I can't use this account to reply to my other two posts. For what ever reason the post isn't showing up.

lemmy.ml seems to hate my @[email protected] account... It won't display my other accounts posts despite the community being on lemmy.ml.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shows up fine on sopuli.xyz

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can all them fine in my lemy.lol account. But not on my lemmy.ml account. It just shows:

And when I click on it it just loads infinitely...

It doesn't stop spinning.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Might be a dumb question but can I use the same username and sign up for other instances? I have tried two different instances and it lets me make a account but then says my login info is wrong and I can't sign in.

[โ€“] BosnianCevap 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've done it with lemmy world and lemdroid

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Prove it. Pick a number in your head and make your other account guess it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes! You can make multiple accounts using the exact same username on multiple instances.

The signup/login experience is really bad on the official Lemmy-ui. Make sure you verified your email if needed before trying to login.

This is actually the reason why I'm able to unify multiple instances into one account on my Lemmy App, Nemmy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I tried it on lemmy.world and lemmy.nsfw and both times it said I had the wrong log on but this was a few weeks ago so I'll give it another try. I even tried changing my password several times and nothing.

I know right? Who would do such a thing?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reminds me of House of Cosbys.

Tattle Tale Cosby - I knew you'd be useful or something to that effect. I haven't watched it in years, but it was damned entertaining.
