Hi guys just wanted to know if Lemmy has any karma count for people in their profile like Reddit has? If so is it public and How can I access it? Edit: Thanks guys I'm so relieved that this kind of stuff is not prevalent here. I love the Fediverse ❤️

Nope. Post and comment scores are just that - scores. They have zero impact on your account or you standing on your instance. Whether you care about them or not is entirely up to you.

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].

Thanks for the heads up on which instances to avoid!!

TBH: It does sound bad, but it is one of the best ways to lower the effort needed for moderating. Currently every idiot from every instance can show up in your community and start spamming. You have to clean up after you're back from work and have other things to do. Set a reasonable limit on account age and karma and that will keep the biggest idiots, because they will be banned or downvoted to oblivion before they can start posting in your turf.

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.

People getting massdownvoted here to the point of having negative overall rep tend to be an issue

I dont mind piefeds version since its only negative for ppl getting primarily downvotes, there isnt a boost for high upvotes
