Whereas I might’ve been less generous with upvotes on Reddit, I think it’s important in these early formative stages to let others know that I appreciate their contributions. I hope it encourages growth and activity!
- 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. 
 
- 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. 
 
- I’m doing my part. Upvote and participate. Being the opposite of lurker that I was - bingo! 
 
 
- I agree. It’s more important now than ever! 
- 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! 
- Yep I really feel like it makes a difference 
- I’m definitely more generous with my upvotes on here. 
- 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 basically only upvote when I like something but do not want to comment. 
- Same haha. Let’s get this fucking party started! 
- 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. 
- 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. 
- Yes… I’ve been doing that across other parts of the Fediverse like Mastodon and Pixelfed. And now Lemmy. 
- 100%
