The best thing about Lemmy is that people don't repost crap or act weird for fake internet points.

Just track your own karma: go through all your comments each day and add the upvotes :P

The cool thing about federation is someone could add this to their own instance

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hm. not sure if lemmy instance. any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo. not saying it can't happen(maybe added as an option) but something else like kbin would also work.

It’s libre, you can fork it and create your own if you want feature not in the main repo. “any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo” is not correct.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ah sure. forking works. But then you'd have to always pull down changes from upstream and resolve conflicts, unless you don't plan to update and gain security fixes. Lots of work for just one change.

Maybe a plugin API could address this

Good riddance. The karma system on Reddit is worthless. It's supposed to let users flag spam and bot content, but it's used as an agree/disagree button in reality. Users still lose posting privileges from having low karma and have to farm it in "free upvotes" subreddits... which spammers and bots happily abuse.

Have a fake comment while your at it

No awards to give either. Only upvotes left to give. So equitable. ☺️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I give you this award 🏆

I'm glad there's no karma, hopefully that'll mean less bots that steal posts, get loads of karma, then sell those accounts to people who use them to scam.

Screw Karma, honestly a terrible system of promoting content to others.
