From way back when: https://lemmy.ml/post/31071
(Yes, this is also a repeat of when I celebrated this historic meme about a year ago) (EDIT: Found and linked the old post on my old account)
Not to brag, but I have comments with, like, 11+ upvotes.

I think I have a post or two with that many.
so what I’ve learned from this is Lemmy has increased in size by an order of magnitude from 5 years ago
I would say multiple, there always are posts with >1k upvotes in top daily

I’m not sure how the tone has changed around here since 2020, but I like the vibes for the most part and if I don’t like a server, I can hop to another one, which I have done several times already.
I was only active back then for a very short time on my old account. It was basically only after the first Reddit API announcement exodus, that Lemmy started to have the critical mass of users that makes it feel very similar to old Reddit like nowadays, which is when I started to truly become active.
In 2020, it felt much more like old forums, with just a handful of active users at a time, even more concentrated around the devs and hardcore Libre/FOSS people. It was nice in its own way from what I saw, but I, personally, couldn’t really get into it (I prefer the content-focused nature of Lemmy, where you can get “lost in the crowd” to some degree, but without the trappings of total anonymity like with the *chans for example).
Quality over quantity
I’m always excited seeing hundreds of upvotes on posts on the front page. We’re growing :)
Currently sitting at 10 upvotes, this meme does not exist. Yet
More cow pixels!!
I once heard about a post that for zero downvotes. I think someone made it up though.
Fr tho!
Seriously, so much better interaction than on typical (anti)social networks.
Lemmy is definitely better than *Reddit, just needs more random ass bullshit.
Lemmy is definitely better than Lemmy
Now you’ve done it, your innocent little mix-up while typing has just started a recursive cascade which will end in the universe collapsing from Lemmy being infinitely good eventually!
And this, folks, is why you never type while tired…
300+ upvotes on Lemmy, instructions unclear
Something, something big fish, small pond, etc. etc.
Love this! So true!
And I have the rare achievement of once having earned 135 downvotes (-135) which was also thrilling!
