That’s not how the fediverse works, posts don’t get “promoted”. The standard is usually chronological sorting, because there aren’t quite enough posts to make sorting by popularity productive for longer sessions of scrolling.

StopTech@lemmy.today 1 week agoI’m not complaining about the lack of upvotes, just I don’t see why it’s getting promoted to your front page

Because the Fediverse is tiny like old school internet. We’re measured in thousands of concurrent users rather than millions.

Surprised its even that high. Feels like about 80 people.

Users, not posters. People who regularly post might well be 80 people, reddit had an even worse ratio.
Popular posts still get >1k votes on Lemmy, so unless most of them are bots or sockpuppets that proves that there are more than 80 people who consume Lemmy content.
