    Weird. You can see they don’t have that many upvotes. It wasn’t my intention to spam anyone’s feed.

      The lack of upvotes is likely because it was repeatedly posted. Try posting to no more than two well chosen communities at a time and see how that goes.

        I’m not complaining about the lack of upvotes, just I don’t see why it’s getting promoted to your front page

          That’s not how the fediverse works, posts don’t get “promoted”. The standard is usually chronological sorting, because there aren’t quite enough posts to make sorting by popularity productive for longer sessions of scrolling. And sorting by popularity is still a far cry from the algorithmic bs that’s standard for commercial social media.

          Because the Fediverse is tiny like the old school internet used to be. We’re measured in thousands of concurrent users rather than millions.

              Users, not posters. People who regularly post might well be 80 people, reddit had an even worse ratio.

              Popular posts still get >1k votes on Lemmy, so unless most of them are bots or sockpuppets that proves that there are more than 80 people who consume Lemmy content.
