I know the obvious things like federation and fediverse, but do we say upvote/downvote, updoot, karma? I hate to bring up the software that must not be named, but I don’t know what else to call things.
- Community - the equivalent of a subreddit. Some people shorten it to “comm”.
- Instance or server - a site using Lemmy or Mbin or PieFed, with multiple communities in it. For example lemmy.world and mander.xyz are instances.
- Upvote, downvote - the same as in Reddit.
- karma - it would be the same as in Reddit, except that the main software (Lemmy) doesn’t have it.
- Lemming - a Lemmy user
- Defed - often used as a verb. Because “defederate” is too long.
Who tf says lemming
Do you have a better alternative, you lemming?
I’m a lemmonaut
At a lemonparty?
Lemminary
😬
I haven’t seen lemming in like a year when reddit users (including me) were moving over and some people apparently needed a replacement for redditor.
I don’t remember ever seeing defed in place of defederate or comm in place of community, but maybe I just missed out on that.
I don’t, but I’ve seen plenty people saying it. Just like “defed”, Snooggums didn’t see it but I did.
You subscribe to communities, which are hosted on different servers. Upvotes and downvotes are what they are. AFAIK there is no karma counting here.
Some apps/front ends/instances track upvote/downvote totals. Haven’t run into any automated filters based on total karma yet, though.
Also worth mentioning that instance admins and some moderators can see specific users’ upvotes and downvotes.
There’s also a public mod log where instances display their moderator actions taken against whom for what reasons. Doesn’t quite stop moderator abuse but it makes it public.
Any kbin user can see everyone who upvoted something. They used to be able to see all of the downvotes as well, but that was disabled with most kbin instances…
As far as I know, all you need to do is find a kbin instance that allows their users to see both upvotes and downvotes (or set up an instance yourself).
It’s best to treat your votes here as public if you’re coming from Reddit where you normally expect this to be hidden.

Everything is enshittification. And you better like GNU/Linux, or else…
Karma exists but unless I’m off we don’t seem to really mention it ever. Theres up and downvotes but I just like them as a way of letting me know how far out my ideas or comments are without taking it personally. It improves your thinking and advocacy skills so its cool
The game
No! I just lost the game…
I made it a little over a year this time though…Wait you can restart?
Yeah. I have a note hidden somewhere on my phone where I keep track of the dates for every time I lose the game. That way I can keep track of every time I restart and how long I lasted.
