The downvoting on pure amateur content seems quite aggressive. But perhaps that’s a matter of building the right community or communities for that particular aspect. Wife and I love sharing content but it’s not always going to be hyper-produced. Can’t think of a real solution but it might end up driving us away. I’m sure we are not alone on that sentiment.
With a whole full week here, I am starting to feel it depends on the community and it’s composition. It’s not LemmyNSFW specific if that makes sense. Some folks will go out of their way to upvote every post, some will do the same with downvotes on anything that triggers them, others will simply skip on to the next post and do nothing. All 3 are perfectly fine IMO.
But it’s a contrast with Reddit where I’ve spent a few years. Reddit NSFW communities tend to drown amateur/ sub-wow content by ignoring that content (gut feeling, I’ve no hard analytics to back that up) and upvote produced stuff. The exception is on very specific kink /r’s
I know you’re relatively new around here and there’s been a lot of discussion and changes regarding downvotes in recent months. They were completely disabled for a while, but currently you need to be a subscribed member of a community for it to register. You are not alone I’m your feelings regarding user behavior. I appreciate that you’re sharing yourselves at least!
Don’t judge me, I am a tech geek --and hopefully this doesn’t break any rules but, I’ve been working around Lemmy itself trying to figure out how to get some basic analytics for myself. Got some interesting --and perhaps obvious data points that I am looking forward to continue see develop as we share more OC material.
Positive Sentiment by Community is just a weighted average between up / down votes. It essentially shows me which communities are more/less welcoming to OC content produce by my wife and I. That’s all.
Perception by Community just distills the above purely on upvotes / (upvotes + downvotes) represented as a %
Engagement by Community on the other hand is the total of votes up + down --I am working to include comments by anyone except the OP as well. This one, IMO, is the metric we should be watching to gauge true engagement.

I feel this so much, never got the downvotes in reddit. usually my OC was simply ignored if not liked, upvoted if liked. it’s brutal here.

So we have ants then
Grrrrrrrr… 😠
Hey, fair point; interesting perspective, though, given this is where we share and enjoy all sorts of kinks.
There is always going to be the majority of people who are all attracted to the same or similar traits.
