I like this platform, and hope it succeeds, however I have a question for the community - what are everyone’s thoughts on creators? I am one, for transparency-sake, and I am pretty sure we are not wanted here, since most of us have Adventures/ Art / Battle maps / Patreons / Kickstarters / Products to sell, even though we frequently give a lot of stuff for free to the community. Thoughts?
As far as I know, we don’t have user based karma here. Only posts and comments get a score. But we really should make sure that the community does not get over-run with a specific type of post. Unless the community is for that specific purpose, of course.
But I can imagine that not every instance would like to host a “share your Kickstarter project” community, as those posts will also show up for the users that like to read all local posts. Here on Lemmy.world that feed would already be a full of stuff you aren’t interested in though, but that’s my opinion and I also never used r/all or any of the other extremely broad subreddits.
Karma wasn’t really the point I was trying to make. I was just trying to say that I posted a lot of content on Reddit, a lot of it highly upvoted. I followed all the rules there too - not posting more than once a week on certain subreddits etc. However, that was 99% of my activity on reddit. If I was to do the same here, I would be considered a spammer, and likely banned.
