Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn’t find info on new user restrictions or time limits, so I thought I’d ask here.
I noticed my comments always show 1-upvote, even after some time passes. Is this a new-user restriction, or are votes being cast but not displayed? Personally, I don’t care about points, but I use votes as feedback to gauge whether my contributions are relevant. I also noticed fewer replies to my comments than I’d expect, given my experience on the previous instance. Is this a visibility thing for new accounts, or just coincidence? I’m here to chat, so I’d love to hear from others!
Thanks for running this instance. I know it’s not easy to run or mod. I hope this can help other newcomers, as well!
Nah my dude, don’t fret! I actually started to suspect the same thing last night. It was one of those things where your brain keeps thinking about a thing subconsciously, even if you don’t consciously ruminate on it. If nothing else I should be the one apologizing to you all for creating this problem in the first place. If there’s one thing I do well in life, it’s being the guinea pig for system by finding ways to break things!
I went ahead and recreated the account. I appreciate yours and all the others who provided insight into problem. The account was only a week old and I still have my lemm.ee export JSON file so I shouldn’t be at much of a disadvantage!
P.S. It’s rare to find anyone who knows where my name comes from. Most, I find, think I’m just making a enema/butt joke!
