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.
Who the fuck cares about worthless internet points? Lemmy, please NEVER implement “karma” or anything like it.
Lemmy “has” karma, it’s just part of account metadata and not usually visible
Well it also has visible vote counts on the posts themselves, just no outward facing accumulated score of all your posts.

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.
Which app are you using ?
Voyager
Ty
And how do you display karma ?
It’s in your profile (center button on the bottom).
Isn’t that just the comment count ? (Total number of comments)
No possible way, because I don’t comment nearly that often.
yes we can write our personal karma analysis algorithm
Uh, I got bad news for you.
