A thousand upvotes? Is this reddit?
I didn't even know the counter could go to 4 digits.
It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's the equivalent of going viral around here lol
How does it feel, going viral?!
What's the exchange rate of Reddit karma to Lemmy nothings?
1,763.64:1
From 97 million active users from reddit vs 55k users from Lemmy.

Reddit karma uses a logarithmic function to determine the karma on a post. The first upvotes give 1 karma each, but the higher the number gets the less karma you get from additional upvotes.
This isn't even some theory based on observations, the reddit algorithm used to be completely open source so you can see how it works on github (or at least how it used to work 7 years ago).
Front page reddit posts with 50k points most likely have over a million upvotes in reality
Well, at least you won't find bots farming karma

Why not? Lemmy doesn't seem bot proof. Quite the opposite really.
1k upvotes here is like the equivalent of 50k on Reddit (probably I'm operating on dated info, who knows how much they screwed with the upvoting system by now lmao)
