how do people from Reddit feel about how comments are chronologically listed instead of ranked by voting? (sh.itjust.works)

The dopamine kick from getting updoots is real, I'd spend way too much time just trying to figure out what gets upvoted to game it. I speed ran an account to 125k in a few months. It's compulsive and addicting.

A week on here and I'm enjoying the learning experience, conversations with a broader range of opinions, less hive mind, and not checking my karma constantly, and as a result it feels better.

There are several other options for sorting comments, you don't have to keep it chronological...

Ah, thanks. I think I'm gonna stick with chronological. Feels good.

Your case almost reads like satire. So extreme. Another reason to not miss reddit and its excessive gamification among with other terrible features. You make redditors look like zombies. No offense.

How are you viewing? On Lemmy in the instance I’m in I can sort comments by hot, top, new and old on the web and I can sort by top, new and active via Mlem (iOS beta app).

I always sorted by new on my favorites. Waiting for a sort by new for comments here soon hopefully.

You already can sort by new comments though? At least I can in jerboa
