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

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.
afaik score is just per post, not a cumulative thing visible on ur account
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.
You monster! 😉
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
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.
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)
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?
Oh that’s sweet
