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 am using the upvote as an "I see you, friend".
I absolutely love this. Lol. I never thought of it this way.
Absolutely, I've done more posting/commenting/upvoting in the last days than I've done on reddit in the last year.
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.
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!
Yes, I also use it to be able to more easily find new comments on threads
Yes... I've been doing that across other parts of the Fediverse like Mastodon and Pixelfed. And now Lemmy.
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.
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’m doing my part. Upvote and participate. Being the opposite of lurker that I was
bingo!
I basically only upvote when I like something but do not want to comment.
Gotta keep the happy chemicals going
Same haha. Let’s get this fucking party started!
Yep I really feel like it makes a difference
100%
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 definitely more generous with my upvotes on here.
I agree. It’s more important now than ever!
