Since on most fediverse instances you don’t automatically upvote your own comment, do you do it manually? What’s considered “proper etiquette”? Because on Reddit your stuff is self-upvoted automatically, while in YT comment sections comments with 1 like sometimes get called out for liking their own comment. Do we have an established standard here yet, and if not what are your thoughts on it?
I like and boost my posts for visibility but my comments I don’t. PSA: you can see who upvotes and downvotes any post or comment by selecting “more” and then “activity”. I can see you upvoted your post, for example. As far as I am aware, this is a kbin thing-- lemmy does not make this visible to the user.
And I think it might as well implement an automatic upvote for everything, like reddit and lemmy (or lemmy.world, anyway).
Yeah I figure the fact everyone can see us doing it means it’s okay to do.
When I was first here I was just trying to get people to stay so I was boosting and upvoting everyone’s content like crazy, including stuff I contributed. Lately I mostly post to a tiny community (@worldwithoutus) so I’m always hoping for visibility.
