Karma in lemmy?
-
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.
-
Lemmy doesn't, but other platforms like Mbin might show your total karma among posts federated with that instance.
The instance I'm on tells me your karma is 462.

How much is mine
? -
If it is the same as for me it should be the sum of your posts and comments.
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.
-
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].
-
There is no karma counter builtin, but it is also not something hard to implement. But I remember an chromium/firefox extension displaying it.
"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.
-
There is ni such thing on Lemmy unfortunatly, there is on PieFed..
-
Let's not follow into Reddits footsteps.
-
karma makes reddit worse. Up/downvotes are great but overall account karma is fucking terrible.
-
Definitely, only difference is here you don't get banned at the speed of light if your opinion doesn't fit the group.
