We’re adding the ability to customize this in the upcoming release, but I’m wondering what people think would be a good default.
The 4 pieces of showable/hideable info are: Upvotes, Downvotes, Score, and Upvote %.
In Jerboa, I had a temporary default (until the next lemmy release), of
Score + Upvote %
, but people seem to dislike this a lot.I’ll check back on this in a week to see the result.
A smartass and wrong! You obviously messed up thinking OP’s initial upvote wouldn’t count towards the percentage. The correct formula is
n + 2
upvotes forn
downvotes, which makes0.5 < (n+2) / (2n + 2) < 0.505
, solve for the smallest possiblen₀ = 100
, giving us102 + n
upvotes and100 + n
downotesDid you just reply to yourself?
I love this being a reply instead of an edit, ha.
Thanks for laying out what calculations would be needed, and why it may be a little harder to parse for a layperson.
