isnt it great to know you are making a positive difference?!
Yeah, feels less like a drop in the bucket.
Yeah me too. It’s the only way we can make this work.
right now I am using the upvote as an "I see you, friend". its more important to me that we have interaction of any type while we try and grow this thing.

I absolutely love this. Lol. I never thought of it this way.
Yes, I also use it to be able to more easily find new comments on threads
It's an interesting phenomenon. For me it really feels like in a smaller community, upvotes and comments and contributions matter a lot more
I’m doing my part. Upvote and participate. Being the opposite of lurker that I was
bingo!
Yep I really feel like it makes a difference
I'm upvoting everything at the moment. I want my fellow users to feel like they matter and are well received, hopefully something that will spur them on to contribute more.
I basically only upvote when I like something but do not want to comment.
Same haha. Let’s get this fucking party started!
Yes, I try to comment on posts because it’ll increase the engagement of the site and new comers wouldn’t feel that it’s empty.
Gotta keep the happy chemicals going
I agree. It’s more important now than ever!
Yes... I've been doing that across other parts of the Fediverse like Mastodon and Pixelfed. And now Lemmy.
100%
I'm definitely more generous with my upvotes on here.
I've been upvoting every comment and thread since I joined lol. Now for the first time it's actually becoming harder to keep track of them!
