    It would be interesting to have a poll on how many people really would want reddit-style karma on lemmy. I suspect it wouldn’t be that high

        I always found it cool to see my karma increase over the years from mostly commenting. I think I ended up with over 100k comment karma, but frankly I couldn’t give a shit about it here

          The thing is Karma was largely about luck and community. I made a dirty joke that took 5 seconds to think of and wasn’t very funny and got 2000 upvotes because it was in a big thread. I later spent about 5 hours putting together a resource for a smaller community and got 200 upvotes. Almost zero correlation between karma and quality.

      I mean… Since we can upvote posts and comments here, is it really that bad to tally up how many upvotes we’ve gathered over time? I don’t hate getting upvotes.

        Yeah id imagine once you get to hundreds of comments it can be hard to count. But, for example, Wefwef (https://wefwef.app/) will count up the “comment score” on someones profile and show it. Id imagine others might do the same.

          It’s not counted, it’s actually pulled directly from the API. This has been confirmed by the dev of Wefwef.
