That sweet sweet dopamine

79 comments

I’m still zero not even 100% I’m using this site right lol.
- Thanks everyone might regret this if it blows up like Reddit used to
- @ChatGPT@lemmings.world could you give this user a short description on how to use this site to get the dopamine hit of people responding to them.
  
  Absolutely, user! Here's a quick guide on how to effectively use Lemmy and connect with others:
  Join Interesting Communities: Search for communities that match your interests. The more engaged you are with the content, the higher chance you will receive responses to your comments or posts.
  Create Quality Posts: Ensure that what you're posting is relevant, interesting, and follows the community rules. This increases the chances of someone engaging with your post.
  Actively Comment: Engaging with other users' posts by providing thoughtful comments can increase your visibility and chances of other users interacting with your posts in return.
  Be Respectful: Remember to always be cordial and respectful in discussions. This helps foster a healthy community and people will be more likely to interact with you.
  Post Regularly: The more active you are, the better chance of getting a response. Don't spam, but regular, high-quality contribution can help hold a visible presence in the community.
  Remember, Lemmy's primary goal is fostering meaningful and constructive discussions, so focus on quality engagement over quantity. Enjoy interacting with the Lemmy community and let the dopamine hits come naturally!
  
  That’s an imposter!
- I’m doing my part!
- Hello, I am a notification. Welcome.
- Not anymore! We (the internet) love you.
- you're doing great bro, keep up the good work
- It just needs to work for the end user
- Hellos friend. : )
- Hello 👋 Hope your day is going well!
- Here, have a reply
- You'll get more eventually.
- Yeah I don’t think so either 😁
  
  Here’s your notification test
- You are doing fine!
- I don't even know where I can see where my what used to be 'karma' at.
  I got early access to liftoff but I have no idea what I'm doing. :(
  
  I don't think karma gets aggregate. You just up and downvote posts and comments and that's it. It doesn't reflect back on the submitter.
  Those points are even more meaningless here. Nothing to gain, but experiences and discussion. Hopefully.
- You're doing fine. Have a good one!
- Most of the time I just click on stuff. Sometimes I do an awkward laugh just to mix things up.

For me, it's more like "Did I accidentally drop a hot take and got the entire community to go against me?"

Sending a notification your way!
- Likewise!
  
  Hello and here is your dopamine

Damn, guess I'm still used to reddit. I see something like that, and I'm like "the fuck you want?"
- "oh good someone disagrees with me., I wonder what I said"
  
  Lol yeah. Every time is get that many replies, it's usually because I said something that upset a while lot of people.
- That is my initial reaction as well, but then I check them and people are just replying like normal humans.

Standing in the corner at the party like, they don't know I have 30 messages in my lemmy inbox
- Do they even understand federation?

My first reaction is (like it was back on Reddit): Fuck, what did I do?
Either I made a good comment or something really controversial, either way now I'm stuck with replying to everyone.
- Yeah, my first thought is always "Oh shit, what did I say?" I definitely don't reply to everyone, though.

Where are y'all finding people to reply to you that many times

Imagine actually posting anything.

You enjoy that? I hate going through those. I had like 1500 unread notifications on reddit at one point. 15 right now on lemmy. Give me a few weeks.
- Here. Have another one.
- I kinda miss clicking "disable inbox replies" after posting or commenting on reddit lol
- I have 500 unread on lemmy but I was responsible for the bean thread so it tracks.

For me that's usually after I had a few adult beverages the night before and my internal filters took a vacation. I either pissed a bunch of people off or said something funny for once.
- Yes normally that only comes after a ton of people disagree with me on something and must tell me all about it.
  Good post get 700 up votes and if I am lucky 2 people comment.
