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!

    I was surprised the registration form allowed me to use the character and had believed that it was using some sort of serialization in the background that other instances had not. Sorry to create more work for you and/or others.
