Well, in that your upvote total and ratio can be calculated, at least. Does it actually do anything, or can it do anything, like it did on reddit? Subs having minimum karma thresholds, that sort of thing? If not, it’s truly meaningless and can be safely ignored by everyone.
Users’ aggregate post and comment score has been entirely removed from the Lemmy API (as of version 0.19.0 if I remember correctly). It is not easily accessible to anyone, including admins. You could write a script to sum a user’s aggregate score.
Thanks. I love that we’ve got several active alternatives we can communicate with on the threadiverse now. I like Lemmy but I hope they continue to proliferate.
It exists, your total just isn’t visible to anyone but admins.Well, in that your upvote total and ratio can be calculated, at least.

That’s what I do.

Oh I guess I missed that update. Thanks for the correction.
This pleases me greatly. This is the ethos.
its completely public via non-lemmy systems https://moist.catsweat.com/u/@[email protected]
Isn’t it worthless though? I mean I could award myself karma on my servers communities or just hack it up.
no. Its great for catching trolls.
it literally hurts no one for existing
Interesting. Your instance is from another platform, right? Is it Piefed or mbin?
Is this just basically karma or what does it mean?
yep, im coming from an mbin instance. its basically karma… upvotes - downvotes.
it really helps identifying spammers/trolls quickly.

Does it persist through comment/post removal/deletion?
