Who cares about votes? These are really just cheap ego boosters.
It feels nice when people like a thing you made. Up votes are an easy way to see how many people like it.
You just gotta remember that they're proportional to population. 1000 upvotes on a larger community may be equivalent to 25 on a small one.
Also on Lemmy upvotes don't accumulate on your account like they do on reddit so they don't mean dick in the long run.
Cheap ego boosters are still ego boosters. Dopamine go brrrrr
