Doesnt lemmy have a karma system already? I can see up votes on my posts, and a sum total on my account page.
Or do you mean something else by “karma”?
I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy, and it lists all your points on your profile. I didn’t even realize that wasn’t included on the website until right now.
What does that mean
Connect for Lemmy is an android app. Based on Sync for Reddit which shutdown unfortunately. Both 3rd party apps for the websites.
Sync for Lemmy is on its way though, which is the original creator u/jdawson and should also have the karma system.
All these people talking about not having a karma system look a little foolish since I’m literally down voting them as I read it.
Yes, it does exist but without the culture attached or reddit’s unknown sause to decouple it from being an immutable fact in the way stats are, however the point seems to make it meaningless.
- Is it a game to min-max
- a social credit score
- a currency
- an aproximate guess if your human
- or an arbitrary number.
- EDIT: almost forgot, a plesant number that you see when you come back, thanks @[email protected]
Its what we make it
Karma was pointless. Nobody cared at all. Upvotes and downvotes are fine and useful to be able to see both. Karma is a worthless system and encourages spamming low-effort garbage memes and endless reposting of the same shit.
NGL for me at least it was a good system to sort out the low effort users by putting a minimum karma points
Nobody cared at all
The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
While I don’t need a Karma System I would like to have some statistics to brag about or at least to look at.
No idea why we’d want it…
Even on Reddit, it didn’t do much.
Lol ok
I mean, upvotes are counted and tracked so how is that different than karma?
On reddit, if your karma is too low you’re not allowed to participate in most communities.
I mean, it’s a super low bar.
If i was, say interested in r/choosingbeggers, id annoy the crap out of any small ungated sub with “I agree” till I get my 100 karma.
Update: i don’t remember writing this
how do people on this site not realize that the points next to your posts affect how your posts are sorted and are literally the exact same system as reddit? am i just so blind that i can actually see the numbers next to my posts or is everyone here just trying to be so anti-reddit they’ll make up bullshit that isn’t reality?
Karma system was a horrible feature on reddit.
This is why I keep asking for downvotes sometimes, just to rig the system. I even downvoted myself.
By the way, can you help me shame myself?
