    that post happened during the time Lemmy had the most active users, so there is that

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

    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

    It's been a long road...

    The transition away from "the bad place" has done me a lot of good. I'd only been a lurker and occasionally commented prior. Finding the fediverse Trek community, at least as I initially saw it (old Risa), encouraged me to engage in what has now become a much loved hobby.

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

    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

    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.

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

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

    Lesson learned, don’t buy those sketchy upload a picture controller wraps.

    Don’t remind me of the jeans era.
