2 days ago (see 2) I posted something into the !programmer_humor@programming.dev community which got almost 1000 upvotes (see 1) while the user numbers for the last week are at 131 (see 3), this doesn’t add up. How can 131 users upvote almost 1000 times?
The upvote logic is so complicated on Lemmy, that idgaf anymore. It’s not like it really was important in the reddit days, just funny somehow…
The first versions of Sync for Lemmy’s still had the added upvote count on my profile page - a Sync for Reddit leftover, but vanished quickly.
This post obfuscated the Lemmy upvote system to a almost opaque level for me lol
Subscriber count is only counting users from your instance. That’s it.
