No offense, but I don’t like this. Not having Karma is one of the main advantages lemmy has. Karma sucks.
all good, I just made it for fun anyways 🫡
honestly, can we just let that die with reddit?
well, it doesn’t have to be called “Karma”, it’s called “Score” in Lemmy’s API. I’m probably going to rename it.
Yes, but people will be starting to react or act to get ‘score’. It incentivises certain behaviour.

While I appreciate your effort and your generosity, unless I’m involved in a conversation about Buddhism, I would be perfectly happy to never hear the word “karma” again.
How do you tally it? I’ve seen lots of discussions about guesses about how the reddit system works.
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
Ko problem. Ok, so just the sum of all up- and downvotes. No dicounting for viral posts, etc.
I didn’t really understand but it’s basically (all upvoted) - (all downvotes)
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.
You monster! 😉
