    Also during the time Lemmy was most excited about beans. One of the golden ages, to be sure.

      There was also the can’t poop guy

        Let us not forget the I can’t poop for three days guy. That was just after the reddit api fiasco and helped cement Lemmy’s capacity for collective comedy.

      Its depressing that I’m living through another golden age… Last time it was reddit, before that it was msn messenger. I can’t even remember what was before that. Probably chisels and slabs of rock.

      During the initial reddit migration, Lemmy/Kbin had a larger active userbase than it does now. It fell off a bit after a little while, though its slowly creeping back up there with a more committed community.

      But basically there were more users to upvote beans at that point

        Man, I wish the dev of Kbin had let people help him. It was, by far, my favorite instance and style of threadiverse.

        No, I don’t really find Mbin the same, sadly.

        Just lamenting what was haha

  Is that what kicked off the beans era? That was some good times.

    Don’t forget the Jeans era

    • panda_abyss@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I designed and bought a jeans wrap for my PlayStation controllers because I thought it would be a funny meme, and they took forever to arrive, looked absolutely awful, and didn’t stay on.

      Don’t remind me of the jeans era.

  I see the same, top all time post with 8112 upvotes

    I wonder if it has anything to do with what instances your instance is federated with

    • null@piefed.nullspace.lol ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That is exactly what it has to do with

  • pelespirit@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Do instances count votes differently or separately? I don’t even know.

    source

    • NotSteve_@piefed.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah, it’s sort of an odd part of the threadiverse. Every instance calculates based on what they’re notified of which means the age of the server along with what other instances it’s federated with impacts the count

      source

      • snooggums@piefed.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        The federation of votes makes sense for potentially mitigating bad actor instances with false votes. Like if a new instance spun up and falsified their votes it could be negated easily by defederating.

        Having differing votes is like having differing communities based on subscriptions. Just a necessary side effect of picking and choosing what gets shared when federated.

      Good question. How many upvotes does it have on your end?
