i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    Sorta yeah. Comments seem to mostly be sorted by new to old. Upvotes do matter… But not as much as ‘Boosting’ does to push content to your frontpage.

    Why everyone just doesn’t hit boost is beyond me but eh. It feels like boost is meant for those especially relevant and nice posts you definitely want others to see vs casually clicking.

      New is definitely the default comment sort that I’ve seen at least using Jerboa with lemmy.world…

      I’ve never seen this boost option you’re talking about though…

      I see now that you’re on kbin so I wonder if that option only exists there.
