2k on Lemmy? that would be like all of us ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I have a 265 comment upvote. That's like 30% of the lemmy population.

I've got a 118 and I'm pretty sure I'm almost a cult leader now.

200 here and it was

pornFoodporn, something i coocked and ate

I got 141 once, that's 3 digits. Another 3 digit number is 999 which is half way there to 1998 which is 2k anyway. So I basically got 2k and I am famous on Lemmy AMA.

Questions:

  1. How did you get this good at math?
  2. Is someone with a post with 142 upvotes even more famous than you or is that impossible?

SatanMCF got a -185 vote once, and I presume that wasn't its bottom. (he's against OHS)

What's nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

And that's why I love this place

Each upvote is also less likely to be a bot.

True. To me, Lemmy feels somewhat more like the old vBulletin forums I used to browse 15 years ago.

I'm honored any time a comment passes 10

Edit: I wake up and I am honored

This feels like our mascot, no further questions

Before this post I didn't think the population of Lemmy has reached 2k

Getting 5 upvotes & a comment (non -Linux related )

Getting 1 star on GitHub

The highest level of achievement is missing: Getting only two downvotes on Stackoverflow

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And the highest level of disappointment is finding a 10 year old stack overflow post that is exactly the problem you're having, but then discover that not only does it not have an answer but you're the one who asked it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Me finding my old reddit posts through google. Kinda jarring getting deja vu, then realising it was me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Here's one more!

That's sad.

Don't forget "getting 1 response to your comment"!

Here you go!

Getting 10 million likes on YouTube is astronomically more difficult than any of the others

Edit: For reference, the most liked YouTube video on the platform only has x5 that amount, at 53 million likes and 8.5 billion views.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Not saying getting 10 mil likes is easy, because it's not, but that ratio of likes to views is pretty low in your example. Mr beast has 30 mil likes for a video with 150 mil views, for example. (Which, in all fairness, has a much higher ratio than average, but still)
