This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lemmy "has" karma, it's just part of account metadata and not usually visible

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well it also has visible vote counts on the posts themselves, just no outward facing accumulated score of all your posts.

Yeah I mean as long as it's not displayed publicly, I don't expect people to fixate on it too much. The individual post and comment vote scores provide plenty of feedback, there's no need for a cumulative counter, aside from moderation reasons.

However, it is displayed on Mbin and PieFed, but their userbases are relatively small so it hasn't mattered much so far. That's one of the major things I think Lemmy does right from a design perspective, hiding that number from people unless they dig through the database.

Voyager displays post and comment count, not karma though. Figured that was how everyone sees it:

Depends on your instance/app. My comment "karma" is currently at 2000.

Ty

And how do you display karma ?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's in your profile (center button on the bottom).

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't that just the comment count ? (Total number of comments)

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No possible way, because I don't comment nearly that often.

yes we can write our personal karma analysis algorithm
