I came from Reddit where they definitely did matter. They don’t seem to hold any real weight here. Is this true for some or all instances? If they don’t matter, what are they for?

On Reddit, the algorithm that determines which posts appear on the main page is heavily influenced by the number of up/down votes for the post and its comments.
Ah, and that isn’t the case on Lemmy I suppose?
No clue, actually. I know you can sort based on votes, but I’ve never thought about how the main feed works. I’ll have to look it up later, if I can remember
Would be interesting to know. 😁
