I notice on a lot of mags, there is one or two people posting, and either 0, a handful, or quite a bit of upvotes, but no one is really engaging, most the time there are 0 comments.

I think in order to foster the growth of our community, we must try to engage more with the people generating the content, it’s helpful and encouraging for them, and also a positive sign for people who are coming into the fediverse. I post quite a bit, and comments always make me feel like it was worth it!

Also, keep upvoting! Someone responded to your post or comment, and you’re just grateful for that or agree with them? Upvote them! Engage! That’s all :)

    It’s easy on some instances to click a name, then click the down arrow on everything they’ve ever posted. I have a couple of stalkers that are hounding me in this way currently, and there’s no way to make them stop. That kind of nonsense makes people want to give up and go somewhere else.

      That’s one of the reasons I have a kbin account, but use a reddthat account with downvotes disabled. It’s also annoying on reddit to find useful info hidden under downvotes because someone had an alternative way of seeing things, but got bombed into disappearing since they suggested something that wasn’t wrong, just different.

          where? how? plz I want to know more.

          edit: does that work at the account level, or is it something you have to use as a desktop browser extension? I’m almost always on ios mobile.

            you can get it on desktop or mobile ios or android. they are called userscripts, they work with safari if you have the userscript app. checkout @kbinStyles and theres a ton of useful sripts. but there is a hub similar to reddit enhancement suite called kbin enhancement suite which gathers many of the most useful scripts in a sort of hub. KES i have it on ios mobile and desktop. within that, there is a toggle for hiding rep and downvotes

              thank you!

              I don’t expect an answer to this, but I’m hoping among the options are ability to save posts, and ability to hide individual posts, which I do miss from reddit. I don’t want to hide everything I’ve already read, just posts I’m not interested in without blocking a user or a full community/magazine.
