Karma in lemmy?
-
Hive mind mentality sums up Reddit culture pretty accurately. so happy to be here
Unfortunately you're not out of the weeds yet. Lemmy has plenty of hive mind mentality
-
I know some clients show that, but the culture here is generally quite against the concept. Tends to lead to people being scared of going against the majority and creates a hive mind mentality to keep karma high.
Cannot agree more. I say things all the time here that people hate and downvote me for but the numbers are even more useless here than on Reddit so it's difficult to care.

Atleast it's not rewarding (hypothetically) like Reddit

I mean, it's the same, except you don't get a total number across all your posts.
The hive mind is here as well.

Hi guys just wanted to know if Lemmy has any karma count for people in their profile like Reddit has? If so is it public and How can I access it?
Edit: Thanks guys I'm so relieved that this kind of stuff is not prevalent here. I love the Fediverse
️This is what my Mbin instance profile view shows me:
Reputation points: 4116
Moderated: 0I'm under the impression the reputation points are either the combined number of upvotes or that minus downvotes, but I don't know. Also, this is an Mbin instance but it's fully federated with Lemmy instances so usually no one separates "Lemmy" and "Mbin" ...

Don't get me started on Karma farming bots. A Karma system does more harm than good.

If it is the same as for me it should be the sum of your posts and comments. What and how popular wouldn't matter, just each submission equals one point.

The instance I'm on tells me your karma is 462.

How much is mine

Not sure what you mean with "if it is the same as for me", considering you're on Lemmy which doesn't have a feature like this.
But it being the sum of posts and comments is verifiably false. My instance knows of 6 posts and 809 comments of yours. Your home instance reports 17 posts and 2.27k comments. Either way, your karma is 8686, which isn't the sum of either of those.

I have a sum total displayed in my profile which works as I described, and assumed that is what everyone gets to see.

Yeah I get it. I guess that's just what people are. We crave being approved by other
-
I guess that's OK. Atleast it's not everywhere like Reddit

Huh, I assume that only appears while logged in then. Since I checked your profile on your home instance before writing that comment and didn't see anything (and still don't).
It does indeed seem to not be a thing even on all Lemmy instances, as my lemm.ee account (which runs the same version as lemmy.zip) doesn't have such a number displayed anywhere.
-
Nope. Post and comment scores are just that - scores. They have zero impact on your account or you standing on your instance. Whether you care about them or not is entirely up to you.
There are exceptions, I think Piefed (see [email protected] ) calculates and uses it in a couple ways.
And some communities like [email protected] autoban people with low karma scores I think. Using [email protected].

"Karma" in Lemmy can be calculated manually though. -

Thanks for the heads up on which instances to avoid!!

Thinking of it perhaps it is the client I use that does it, voyager. I have never not been using it ever since I joined lemmy so i often forget that i might have a different experience than other users.

slrpnk.net in general is a good instance.
This is just a single community in the instance.
And PieFed is a software that is compatible with lemmy. So basically it’s a whole bunch of instances that run piefed, not just one.
And “karma” per say isn’t calculated on piefed, just users who get more downvotes than upvotes on most their comments lose some priviledges.
