It's amazing this isn't against the rules, especially the stacking of votes.
From what I've seen from experimenting, the only accounts that seem to have weight on each other on lemmy are my lemmy and kbin accounts. There is definitely room for abuse if I were to make many lemmy accounts accross different instances, which I have seen people abuse, especially on lemmy's version of r/place.
I get maybe 2 upvotes at most, and even then I don't usually upvote my own content because it's unsatisfactory. Upvotes tell me people are engaging with my content and like what they see. It does me no good if I know it's just me. The only time I've ever upvoted my own content is on very small communities where no one on would ever see the content otherwise.
I try to be ethical with my interactions with fediverse, but I definitely see the room for abuse.

But I suspect people doing this are more about getting exposure for a point of view or link.
If you post on lemmy and boost on kbin your followers on mastadon I think can see it as a post. So it pushes it all around without a repost and links back to the original.
I think it is pretty good that this stuff works together mostly seamlessly.
I don't think there would be a proper way to enforce it either. The whole idea is to be able to pack your things to any instance at a moments notice. Mixed with how there is no central record of accounts and their IPs and everything is so spread out, there is no way of knowing if someone is a sockpuppet or just a backup
Honestly, this is the one thing that makes me wonder how long Lemmy really has...
Propaganda machines and astro turf farms can essentially move the needle any time they want here. It's enough that I kind of want voting removed completely... It simply has no true validity on Lemmy.
Calm down Unidan
Omg I remember reddit "celebrities".. I hope that doesn't come over here on Lemmy. Only Lemmings of interest should be the developers doing amazing work.
Can you explain briefly what is the difference between Firefish and Mastodon? I checked Firefish and looks the same but on white.
Can I have my fediverse on rye?
Firefish is more tumblr-y, mastodon more twitter-y. Both are good, have their pros and cons. It's a matter of preference. Firefish is extremely easy to set up though, like ridiculously so.
Just started using it. First impressions, it's definitely feels more unique than mastodon, and has features its missing. Like there are reactions in addition to favoriting a post, and you can quote post. At this point, It kinda feel's like Mastodon's kbin.
You can also send DMs on Firefish and I haven't found a way to do that on Mastodon.
A mastodon DM is a private post. Setting a post to private before sending means only mentioned accounts can see it, and all mentioned accounts get notified. In a sense this enables both DMs and group messages too. But it’s not the most elegant interface for it tbf. A good app makes this feel more DM like, such as Ice Cubes on iOS or the equivalent on Android.
they are both twitter-like fediverse platforms, same content shared.
Firefish is just a much nicer experience IMO.
I find Firefish adorable for some reason? Like I know nobody who uses it but when I signed up a bunch of random people made sure to greet me. It was very sweet.
Might be a dumb question but can I use the same username and sign up for other instances? I have tried two different instances and it lets me make a account but then says my login info is wrong and I can't sign in.
Yes.
Yes! You can make multiple accounts using the exact same username on multiple instances.
The signup/login experience is really bad on the official Lemmy-ui. Make sure you verified your email if needed before trying to login.
This is actually the reason why I'm able to unify multiple instances into one account on my Lemmy App, Nemmy.
I tried it on lemmy.world and lemmy.nsfw and both times it said I had the wrong log on but this was a few weeks ago so I'll give it another try. I even tried changing my password several times and nothing.
No.
Well now I feel like I'm back on Reddit. Equal amount of yes and no with no real answer or proof in sight.
Yes.
This is crazy.
I know right? Who would do such a thing?
Reminds me of House of Cosbys.
Tattle Tale Cosby - I knew you'd be useful or something to that effect. I haven't watched it in years, but it was damned entertaining.

Thanks to WUPHF! Now we BARK!
I have definitely thought about doing this on reddit subs that I ask a question on that gets buried in new.......
Hi there Unidan
Looks like lot of fun. I'm not confortable enough with the Fediverse to do it. But when I'll figure thing out, I definitely plan to do the same on day, just for fun!
