@minnieo If the functionality still works, what is the purpose of this type of activity? Improve mood? There is, for example, another, simpler solution to this type of problem. It is enough, for example, not to look at the reputation points.
Sometimes I do things.

@cutitdown The matter is a bit simpler. I noticed Ernest’s posts on another site and I looked at “karab.in” from time to time and followed the changes out of curiosity. Ernest did all the work himself, and while this has its advantages, it also has serious limitations, to help him a bit I made a logo for the site and some UI mockups.
Yes, I can see the issues you’ve been writing about for a long time, but they are code issues. It actually takes a few lines of CSS to fix it, but here’s Ernest’s time issue again. Also, almost no developer likes to bother with CSS.
The solution is to push the patches into the repo and then harass Ernest to accept them.
@garrettw87 Yes, detailed information would be visible in the “activity” tab or better “stats”. In fact, this feature already exists.
In this example, it’s not even about combining top-ups with likes, etc., it’s about unifying the user interface. Instead of buttons on the left in threads, on the right in microblogs, etc., it’s the same everywhere.
@bou Yesterday I decided to install Thunderbird. Although I haven’t used it for several years, it has practically not changed. Interestingly, my return to using the program coincides with dynamic changes in the project.
In the discussed topic, it is worth posting the material that I watched yesterday, and containing comments on a fairly important topic: https://youtu.be/EoLb6aHakno?t=360
@lol Yes, it’s a good place, as well as kbinMeta
However, it should be remembered that the project is being temporarily developed by one person and it is not possible to respond to everyone. For this reason, it is logical for the community to explore the proposal as broadly as possible. Validation and refinement of the topic will allow the developer to decide faster whether to implement changes and when, and shorten the implementation time.
Visualization of the current situation. In fact, I don’t know if lemmy is more of a mouse or a rat, but it probably doesn’t matter.
@kris Upvotes and downvotes work and do the job, the problem is that they require a disciplined community and admins.
If the ratings do not affect the real ranking, users do not see the point in it, they get irritated and the service slowly but surely dies. It happened with digg, it’s happening with its Polish clone, wykop.pl, and it’s happened with several other counterparts.
Unfortunately, the natural course of things. The site becomes popular, money begins to appear, this affects the ranking through sponsored content and begins a slow decline.
upvote/downvote meets the needs you write about. If it works as it should. It is less important whether it will be an arrow, stars, hearts or any other object used to illustrate the functionality.
Though maybe thumbs up/down would be a better choice than arrows.
@knoland I know chakra, in fact it’s the same as what I’m writing about, only prepared and ready to work.
I’m not talking about the development side, but the masses of designers who spend days/months creating palettes, tints, shades. When in practice it doesn’t really make sense. Whether the colors are generated in CSS, JavaScript or is a function built into a given framework is not so important. The point is not to do it manually because the marginal tonal differences in manual selection and generated shades will not be noticed by most users anyway.
