Downvotes usually signify “you posted something rude, objectively incorrect, off-topic, or instance/community rule-breaking” and people who think they did not do anything wrong might understandably be frustrated when they are getting the signal they did something like that, but they can’t figure out what bad behavior they’re getting downvoted for at all. They might want to know what the downvoter thinks they are doing that is inappropriate so they can stop it, or if it is just a troll trying to make people unhappy and thus ignorable. And given the “lol why do you even care, are you that sensitive over internet points” kind of view, it makes it even more annoying because asking what they did wrong might just get them a response like that and no further clue to what offensive behavior they’ve committed. I know some people use downvote for a mere disagreement as well as for actual objectionable behavior, and trolls exist so downvotes are often safe to ignore, but I’d imagine a reasonable person who does not care about internet points might start getting a little “oh god what did I do wrong” if it’s more half-up half-down or mostly downvoted, especially since I usually see rude/spammy/incorrect things downvoted more heavily than things politely pushing against the grain of popular opinion.
Also somewhat relevant: I subscribe to some really small magazines/communities. Some of them are full of posts that might appear bad or controversial by vote count (think 3 upvotes vs 3 downvotes, 4 upvotes vs 3 downvotes), but the posts are entirely on topic and are not particularly biased or incorrect. I feel bad for them because it makes that post look low-quality or like they are about a controversial topic when it is really just a tiny community that probably attracted a couple trolls but not enough legit users to outvote them. I can see that getting the community creator a little upset, having their regular content look to onlookers as if it’s trash when it’s normal content, and lowering their hopes of attracting people to the community. Although hopefully people can recognize that at that small a number of people it might just be trolls and not low-quality content.
Happy with my current instance, but the urge to try out PieFed grows… would probably mean abandoning Mbin though and Mbin is already so tiny compared to Lemmy…
I have asked before and I am curious. I do not mean this to crap on people who want an app but I wonder why an app is a desired thing. I use Mbin and Lemmy on mobile completely through my browser and I’m having a good time with both.
I also figured it might have been something like that but I didn’t follow the Reddit sub. (Also, it is your community, you can do what you want, but we don’t have to be a 1:1 copy of them if we do not want to be!)
A community dedicated to mostly humorous instances of queer erasure.
Abides by that specific community’s rules. However, I feel “They Were Roommates” would work better for the name of a community for general humorous instances of queer erasure, as “Sappho and Her Friend” makes me expect it’s either lesbian-only or woman-only.

Delighted to see another Mbin magazine for once. It is the Fediverse, and lately it’s been feeling like the Lemmyverse. Hope this gets users.
I’m not saying this to crap on your community—I’m just genuinely curious. Why make a community that’s just an RSS feed when I can just subscribe to the RSS feed of the website?
Oh, that’s true, good point. My thinking is that the Fediverse is small and some players do convert to trying to dev themselves.
You might also want to advertise this in the Visual Novel communities on the Fediverse!
!automation_games@feddit.de. Desperately needs more posts than just Factorio. I am sadly unqualified for that as I am very interested in the genre but have not yet actually played games in it yet.

As a person who uses Mbin on iOS, I’m really surprised no app support is an issue for people. It’s really easy for me to use in the browser. I’m not saying this to put down people who want an app, I want to understand what an app would have that makes it better. I’m curious.
I definitely appreciate when someone posts a long-form article about the animal in question, even if I don’t always have the energy to read it.
This is why I feel so so lucky to be a small-breasted woman who does not live somewhere hot 24/7.
If I ever do put on a bra it is because I expect I’ll be running (only situation I have been in where breasts hurt braless, very thankful), or because the silhouette of my nipples is visible through my clothes and I don’t want it to be. A good deal of my wardrobe won’t show nipple even if I go braless, but not all of it is like that and so I put on a bra.
Animals:
!bunnies@lemmy.world !bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org !foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org (I promise this is about the animal, not the conservative American news network) !snakes@lemmy.world
I have been told before !communityname@instancename.com
style links do not work for everyone and that [link name](/c/communityname@instancename.com)
works for others, so:
bunnies@lemmy.world bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org snakes@lemmy.world
Feel free to add more, these are just the animals I personally like enough to have sought out a Fediverse community for them
