Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

It’s worked excellently. Very easy to use.
Quote I heard very recently: Don’t do things that would not achieve the goal you wanted if everybody did it.
It’s got too many caveats, but it’s certainly food for thought.
Block memes and politics if you must - I blocked the latter and my experience is superb.
If you comment on posts you think are under-rated and upvote, you’ll push them up the activity queue and it’ll reach more people.
I’ve been posting on the HP and Tolkien communities and begun modding them too. I’d encourage people to post, and if necessary take up a little responsibility too.
I suspect doing this on posts with less upvotes will push them up the queue, so if you see any under-rated posts go upvote and comment on them.
I’m moving to lemm.ee personally for similar reasons. I’m keeping the dotworld account as backup and may be creating communities here.
I’ll personally post as long as it’s relevant. Ideally it’s an interesting comment but not always. I stay away from reddit-type inane comments with no substance, though I’m sure they have their place here as well.
Some people might have made multiple accounts and chosen one possibly?
We called them streaming services. Calling them stream-ers sounds like the media is trying to make them sound cuddly and non hostile.
For now if you want another account, you just make another (with any username you want, I have an account with the same username on lemm.ee). It’s possible to port subscriptions and blocked users and communities to a new account using some software. While that is useful, it’s not a proper account migration.
However keep in mind you can mostly access most other instances from your home instance. In that case your username (and instance) ‘carry over’.
On the off chance lemmy.world has defederated from an instance, and you can’t access it, you can join another general, neutral instance like lemm.ee
Feel free to make an account on another instance like lemm.ee (a general sensible instance) or lemmy.cafe (run by a guy, new) or a country-based instance where people of that country congregate. You might do this to keep your interests or purposes for the accounts separate or in case the lemmy.world server is down (even for a short while), or to potentially access defederated instances and their communities.
OP should possibly check out lemmy.ml’s worldbuilding community which is slow but has had more posts in total.
I don’t think they were going to, since Hexbear doesn’t actually have downvotes. Only upvotes. And the post above apparently cuts out the part where they’re told to follow the rules.
If they wanted to misbehave they could do it already. I’ve personally had posts and comments mass downvoted and people have complained elsewhere. The only thing this defederation will contribute to is an increase in alt accounts and the very misbehaviour you fear. This is a Lemmy problem, not a Hexbear one.
It’s already possible, I had it happen to me, and people on unrelated communities (LotR etc) were replying to me asking why my post and comment got ranked down. This is clearly a lemmy problem, not a hexbear one. And by increasing division we’re going to legitimise infantile behaviour like that.
As a lemmy world user up to now, I do not wish to lose the interests, knowledge and expertise that 20k other people have, so I’ll probably be off to lemm.ee if it proves good.
Probably doesn’t want to be brigaded. I’ve had random posts and comments downvoted by neckbeards for no reason. To the point that people in that community (LotR) were replying to me in surprise.
This looks good, I just found an old (3 year old post - I didn’t even know Lemmy was around back then!) and commented on it. There were also funnily two other recent comments (one from 2 months ago and another 3 months old).
