If you sort by "active" there should be posts with more comments. The "hot" sorting is not really representative for how active users on lemmy are, since it favours younger posts over older posts with lots of comments. You can read the details of the reasoning here .

Let's all make a test, what does this post look like from your instances:

I agree that the downvotes on your posts in the Jerboa community are rather strange. My theory is that people who downvote your more controversial stuff subsequently go through your whole profile and just downvote everything regardless of content.

Strange, when I look at OPs history, I see quite a few in the negative. Maybe it's because I'm from a different instance?

Thanks for making me aware of c/worldbuilding! It's nice to see more niche communities growing.

Make one!

I hope you get better soon!

The official webapp seems to support it, so I guess it's just not yet implemented.

Jerboa on the other hand doesn't seem to like it:

I never really understood it myself. But from what I've heard from people who are (or rather were) regular Twitter users, they like to follow celebrities or specific journalists (people who have actual interesting things to say). Those people are often not on Mastodon, though.

I think you make a great point. It's easier to make an echo chamber in Mastodon/Twitter, since you mostly encounter people you already know (or are connected to via someone you know).

Not that echo chambers are impossible on platforms like Lemmy or Reddit, but I feel like the format of Twitter/Mastodon especially encourages it.

This is great, thanks for sharing!

I like Pika Backup. It's a frontend for borgbackup that also let's you mount and browse your archive with a few clicks. I think it's pretty handy on a desktop PC. And since it uses borgbackup you also get encryption with it.
