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 ❤️

    This is what my Mbin instance profile view shows me:

    Reputation points: 4116 Moderated: 0

    I’m under the impression the reputation points are either the combined number of upvotes or that minus downvotes, but I don’t know. Also, this is an Mbin instance but it’s fully federated with Lemmy instances so usually no one separates “Lemmy” and “Mbin” …

      I’m under the impression the reputation points are either the combined number of upvotes or that minus downvotes

      IIRC from kbin – and assuming mbin didn’t change things – boosts counted for two points while upvotes (favorites) are one point and downvotes (reduces) are one point. Boosts are basically retweets, IIRC, and wouldn’t be coming from lemmy users – just from Mastodon, mbin, and other tools that support it.

      Edit: To clarify, I mean downvotes reduce by one point.
