No offense, but I don't like this. Not having Karma is one of the main advantages lemmy has. Karma sucks.

Agreed, non-cumulative metrics are a pro, not a con.

People can vote. So you do have karma, but you can't see it.
KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Yes/no, clearly it can be calculated, but it's not like it's a hidden value. Also becomes a little skewed given that some instances have downvote turned off entirely.

honestly, can we just let that die with reddit?
Yoru@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
well, it doesn't have to be called "Karma", it's called "Score" in Lemmy's API. I'm probably going to rename it.
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 2y
Yes, but people will be starting to react or act to get 'score'. It incentivises certain behaviour.

You have to install the extension to see your karma score. Don't install it. Problem gone.
strawberry@artemis.camp · 1 pts · 2y
afaik score is just per post, not a cumulative thing visible on ur account
Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com · 2 pts · 2y
No I think there's a total score that is saved in your account but is hidden from the frontend
strawberry@artemis.camp · 1 pts · 2y
dunno. either way, im on kbin, so could be different
queermunist@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 2y
You monster! 😉
Yoru@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 2y
I just noticed it only works for lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, my fault. Will be publishing the fix in a bit. I was a little too excited XD

Great!

I don't see the point of downvoting this. You have to install the extension to see your karma score. So I don't see what's the big deal is. Clam down, people.
EDIT My biggest problem is this add-on needs access your data for all websites. Why not Lemmy sites only?Yoru@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y
because there are too many lemmeny instances, cannot possibly add them all
Crul@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
mlmym frontend shows it, although it shows different values depending on the instance:

How do you tally it? I've seen lots of discussions about guesses about how the reddit system works.
Yoru@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
I run an API request on loop until there are no posts/comments left. Then I somply add up their score. Sorry for the late response btw
humanplayer2@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
Ko problem. Ok, so just the sum of all up- and downvotes. No dicounting for viral posts, etc.
Yoru@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
I didn't really understand but it's basically (all upvoted) - (all downvotes)
humanplayer2@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
Ok. Reddit has some really elaborate system where the first upvotes gives 1 karma, then after upvote 500 or something, each only gives 0.5 karma or something, etc.
