It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

Do upvotes and downvotes work the same way here? If so, I fear that communities may become echo chambers too, in time.
In a post and comment, yes. However your up vote vs down vote counts are not stored on your profile. It reduces the game-ification of the interactions.
It also depends where you’re reading from. Mastodon doesn’t sort at all, Kbin sorts differently from Lemmy, and one Lemmy instance might differ from the next. Even vote counts might differ between servers.
In the end, the user experience here will be much more individual than on Reddit. What is the top post for you might not be the top post for me. :)
