Right now, the lemmy algorithm "active" rewords controversial discussion heavily. Stuff enough comments in a post and it stays on the top for days.
oh wow. time to make a chat bot to argue with antis
count to 1000000 thread.
lmfao would that actually work
Ya, it's why this post is now on the top. This is why I've made a few discussion posts in https://burggit.moe/c/touhou_nsfw and why https://burggit.moe/c/whosefeet is probably going to take over the whole instance if it takes off.
yeah i noticed the discussion posts. could probably include them with a suggestive image or something
this is definitely not great but might as well abuse the hell out of it
That's the spirit!
🤷♂️ so am i just supposed to use this like twitter and post tons of annoying reaction bait? also i wonder if advertising burggit outside of lemmy would be effective to driving growth
Definitely. We need to advertise heavily here at the start so that we have enough of a sizable community to be stable. Be careful where you advertise. While it would be easy for us to advertise in loli circles and become another allthefallen, I would like to see this instance become hentai first, loli second, discussion 3rd, and squick last. There's plenty other places on the internet for no holds barred discussion and while I can personally block the squick if I don't like it, it's hard to sell this instance to others if the first thing they are slapped in the face with is loli and bruises.
Controversial posts would get a lot of upvotes, but also a lot of downvotes (in instances that allow them). Regardless, having a new comment count as a bump would in regular forum systems is totally exploitable.
