Make a new account on Reddit, and you soon learn that votes (and therefore karma points) do matter. Even the karma in one subreddit can be relevant, so older accounts joining subreddits need to be careful not to annoy the local establishment.

They matter in the original intention of votes: visibility.

Votes get used to sort content.

On my very first day on Lemmy, I couldn't see the comments to most posts. Luckily I found an answer to this problem that was posted over 2 years ago: I forgot to select additional languages to just “Undetermined.”

I just skimmed over the texts on the settings page and assumed “undetermined” works like with other social media sites: if I don't select anything, it shows me every language. And as communities are usually formed around a single language, it didn't seem important. This isn't the case with Lemmy. Undetermined is its own language, not a wildcard for all languages.

When users don't know how multiselect works on desktop web, they probably end up with just one language selected and miss every post that has no language set.

It's very strange.

On the web I can select the language of a post and comment. The two mobile apps I've tried so far don’t have any language-related features.

So I end up posting and commenting with a mix of languages.

Should I just not set any when using the web UI?

I know what I don't want. It's probably biased, and I won't mention anything to avoid a flame war.

All the theme sites I've seen so far only let you specify what you want. But I have a longer list of things that I don't like. And filtering any output by it would shrink any results significantly.

Damn. It’s probably number of new users.

Sounds like a bug. 24 users don't write 1269 posts and 1867 comments.

Oh, I think I put GoW on the wishlist because of the few hundred hours of “The Outer Worlds.”

Choice paralysis can hit you even if it's only about two things. In this case it's about two games that you will play for hundreds of hours.

I had “Horizon Zero Dawn” in my library for 3 years before I finally started a serious game and finished it this year. Currently replaying it again.

The successor is now on sale on Steam: €36.

I put “God of War” on my Steam wishlist after finishing “Horizon Zero Dawn” for the first time. I was looking for more open-world games of this kind, and it got recommended by fans.

It's now on sale on Steam: €20.

I can't play them both at the same time. And after playing one of them for 100 to 200 hours, the other will be on sale again.

What would you do? GoW, so that you don't stick in the same world for too long and have some variety in your escapism? Or HFW to see how the story continues without wasting any more time?

Would HFW disappoint me on my GTX 1070? Compared to HZD?

Oh, yes. The day after the “Glitter” soundtrack was released.

He probably thinks his AI is a god because it knows how many Bs are in blueberry.

Discouraging users from reporting content could potentially be against the Apple App Store guide. I don’t understand why Reddit is doing that.

They announced that they are investigating Democrats regarding Epstein.

An investigation can prevent the release of the Epstein files, regardless of whether the president signed the bill or not.

I need to create an Apple account since yesterday. At first I got the error message "Your account cannot be created at this time." right away. So I waited until the Cloudflare outage was over.

After that, I could submit the request, received codes via email and text message. But when I enter the code from the text message, the error message "Your account cannot be created at this time." appears again.

The service "Apple Account" is marked green on Apple's status page. The email address and phone number are working, as they both received the codes.

So many people are affected by suspensions (even permanent) for reporting posts. The admins are gaslighting users who bring this to their attention.

I gathered a short list of examples of people talking about this topic.

I just had to vent. I'm serious, don't react to these posts on Reddit. No, this isn't one of these "I tell you not to do something in the hope you are doing something" cases.
