MODERATORS
you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments
view the rest of the comments
This really should be the norm. If you look at old phpbb sites and the like generally when you “like” or “find a post helpful” or whatever they call it they will list the users who have liked a post.
This whole anonymous voting thing is again a redditism that lemmy devs need to break free from.
R*ddit was truly multiple steps backwards from phpBB forums.
im just praying for the day the lemmy devs decide to ditch the tree view and embrace chaos
I blame the tree view for the reason why Lemmy threads have performance issues relative to old school forum threads and why you can only see a max number of comments. There's a max number of comments you can see per sorting, so by sorting new and old, you can see double the max number of comments, but there's still a max number.
I mean phpbb threads are sorted by new and there's usually also a limit to the number of posts you can see at a time. They're both views into a database, lemmy just lets you sort the posts differently
Use chat mode
i think an old forum like is a bit different from how upvotes work. those were used more sparingly and carried more weight.
