I understand that lemmy is a great place to be in for discussing our experiences with Android phones, but l find the forums/communities great for discussion purposes. The signup is very simple, just with an email id. Whereas in lemmy, an instance can have several communities, a community based on discourse would be exclusive for that purpose.

    No algorithym here.

    Also, karma doesn't mean anything here.

    You know there's an "All" feed, right? Guess what determines the sort when you view it by Hot, Active, Scaled etc.?

    OK, but you know those are extremely simple. Not any thing like a social medias algorithm.

    But ok, I will concede that something popular could be at the top of a list.

    I think what you're saying is, that many people have a problem with algorithms where the developers have their "thumb on the scale" to manipulate what content gets promoted or is considered popular.

    But it's not hard to find people who are also critical of the purer type of algorithm, where upvotes are used to sort content, and things get popular for being popular in a "hivemind" fashion, which Lemmy does just like Reddit before it.

    Do people sort based on votes on Lemmy? With some instances not even using the voting system I suppose it could work the other way, where the client does that. I guess my instance does have top and controversial. I just never noticed, lol.

    No it doesnt. Karma would mean that those points add up somewhere, they do something other than in a single post.

    Also, some instances don't even show votes at all.

    Then you are not talking about Karma at all.

    You are talking about what points look like during a discussion as votes (again an instance may not even display them). That isn't karma at all, its just votes on a single page.

    I hear that you are saying they might affect behavior during a single discussion.

    The one thing very different I guess is forums do put things in order. In this type of forum you can comment in any part of the chain which is probably more interesting when comparing the two.

    I still use traditional forums, hell I admin one. I certainly am not against them.
