There’s so much spam, and people diligently downvote. But the posts are still shown, with -53 votes or something.
When a post is clearly unwanted, could it be hidden?

I think this could have utility. But I’m in many communities that are just automatically downvoted by the people outside the community. So my communities would get even less interaction than they currently get
It would be nice to count votes only by people who are subscribers or comment in a community, but that’s probably going to be a larger lemmy feature that’s going to take time to develop
“Reddit is fun” had a feature with a vote threshold, it was something like “don’t show posts with a score lower than ___.”
This would be tremendously useful to have in Voyager. As an improvement, that setting could have a sub-setting, a list of communities where this setting does not apply.
I would probably want this in some sort of score/percentage mix. Like if a post had 15 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I would probably still want to see it as it just means it’s something controversial rather than low effort/quality. However going off of percentage alone wouldn’t work well in the beginning if it was immediately downvoted two or three times.
So probably more like:
score lower than {user_defined_low_score} AND score % less than {user_defined_low_percent}
We could also probably apply this to comment scores as well so we can avoid having to look at 2 users being petty towards each other… like what played out in one of the other replies to this comment.

Reddit is Fun is not Reddit.
And? You think this site needs to be enshittified because a good feature was used by reddit first?
Petty comment imo.

This is not discussing federation, this is discussing a feature in one specific client. One that happens to overlap with RIF a lot in terms of functionality.
A federation of what genius?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !programming@lemmy.ml
Lmao, so after reading that did ypu figure out the answer to what you were asked?
A federation of what? It literally says it in your comment.
It’s a 1 sentence answer, just a hint since you don’t read very well.
My threshold is -10, so I wouldn’t have even written this reply if that feature existed!
Unless I felt like manually uncollapsing your comment, lol
I agree, this would be a bad setting to have before the platform fixes the broader issue.
There are lots of reasons people downvote things and for many communities it has nothing to do with that community’s content quality. Until communities can opt out of inclusion in the All list it’s just going to disappear communities for people.
