It’s done, feel free to start subbing to some external communities, and let’s keep the conversation going on which instances we should link to.
Instances only see federated content from external communities that have at least one subscriber on the instance. If you want our content to propagate to a certain instance, then please sign up with them and start subbing to some of our communities - I’ve been doing this for the larger ones.
I see this is going well… already had to disable downvotes?
🤣 Yeah it’s becoming apparent that people will downvote us in general, not so much the content. It’s not bad yet, but I know it’s coming. I don’t particularly care about the votes themselves, but Lemmy does use downvotes to figure out what shit to move down from view, so it can affect stuff you post.
I am against disabling the downvotes. Yes, it’s not encouraged but if I really want to downvote it’d be better to have that as an option
Alright fair, I’ve re-enabled them.
