  People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.

  Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.

  I think any kind of reputation score should be community specific. There are users whose commenting style fits one community but not another, and their overall reputation should be understood in the context of which communities actually like them rather than some kind of global average.

    Id say I say some controversial things yet I still somehow on average go positive karma wise, you have to be straight up hateful and ignorant on purpose to go negative imo

  How exactly does the private vote thing work? I thought votes being federated was inherent to the way the fediverse is designed.

    I believe piefed creates fake accounts to do the voting so it doesn’t federate the actual account that cast the vote.

  Is this self-designated?

  • sailorzoop@lemmy.librebun.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I have no idea! I’m already hosting Lemmy so I don’t really see the point personally.
    Just thought I’d look it up for OP.

    No, admins designate it.

    Most instances do not use this feature, afaik. piefed.social does but most of the others do not.

    I seriously doubt it because I’m pretty sure the point is to remove the ability for bot accounts and spammers/etc from farming up some karma to appear more legit for their nefarious/spamming purposes.

    • ccunning@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I think either way could possibly be exploited.

      And putting all that aside, I think all image-centric subs should probably be included. It’s just as easy to frame karma with cute cars and flowers as it is with memes.

        Excluding OC communities, right? Like you’re not discounting people who put a lot of time and effort into their photography? Or even if they’re not great photographers sharing pictures of their plants and gardens and hobbies, and pets, should have the same allowances as text only posts

  Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default. Voting is private.

  I don’t particularly care for these two items. I used to think user-curation was a good thing, but comparing Lemmy to Reddit, I have to say I no longer feel that way. Voting matters less on Lemmy and I think it’s better for it, all things considered.

  Hide all posts based on keyword filters.

  I’m very interested in this. I’m kinda stunned that lemmy doesn’t do this natively.

  • PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    The Voyager client can do that. I use it a lot!

    source

    • GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I use connect which also does that. IMO, it should be native.

  This might need updating, I think the private voting feature was removed?

  • Blaze@piefed.zip ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Indeed, I raised to Rimu to review that page

  I’m not able to see any content behind those links or even the root site of piefed.social without what looks like creating an account and logging in. Is account creation and login required to interact with piefed at all? No anonymous reading?

  • rimu@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    This is a temporary measure to reduce load on the server from AI scrapers.

    source
  • sailorzoop@lemmy.librebun.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Same here, so I’d assume so.

    source

    • partial_accumen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Gotcha. That’s a non-starter for me then. I hope I’m not the intended audience for piefed. I never visit Facebook pages for the same reason.

        I could be entirely wrong, but that’s what it looks like, yeah.
        Absolutely hate registration walls as well.

        You could check out another instance, for example https://feddit.online/, which is visible without signing in.

        Posted.social used to be open for all, but I suspect it needed to be restricted due to AI scrapers. Not sure exactly what the reasoning is though.

    Also @rimu@piefed.social , is the login wall new?

    source

    • rimu@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yeah just until the latest scraper wave goes away.
