to be fair though, getting a 1000+ upvote post on Lemmy feels like whatever drug Musk is on constantly

There's no way everyone on Lemmy has voted on your post twice!
oh, i mean, i don't personally know the feeling. i am just looking at my 500ish upvote post and sighing wistfully
“Oh look at mister moneybags over here with his 500 updoots…”
The trick is to post more Linux stuff, Lemmings love their Linux.
Add some anti-capitalist rhetoric and you're cooking
If you can find Linux-themed can of beans being produced by an employee-owned cooperative organisation then I think you might hit the jackpot
They already said Linux

Ketamine + Cocaine
It's a combination that makes you feel like a god and beleive you are one
I know this because reasons...
Some legend did it with a can of beans. In fact we’ve had posts in the past that got a few thousand, but they are less common these days.

I hand out up votes like candy because engagement is how we're going to get new users and kill the other site. I'd rather people karma farm here than by putting money in the pockets of the ultra-rich tbh
Here have a downvote. Enough of those and you get censored so lemmy can become an echo chamber by censoring anything unpopular, eg someone liking a bad movie.
Trust, lemmys already kind of an echo chamber, but it's our echo chamber so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can't say I've ever seen that happen.
Upvote my comment. After 300+ I post feet pic.
Upvote my comment to 300+ or else I post feet pic
Edit: you people had your chance. 
OP is doing it right now
I was unsure about the change back when 'Karma' counts were removed from Lemmy. I don't think that I have missed them ever, as a user, mod, or admin.
i think user total upvotes/downvotes is public, so people can check it out if that's their thing
I was told by an admin that admins can see what everyone upvotes and downvotes and that they're going to give mods that access in the future.
@pelespirit Because Lemmy is federated, your upvotes and downvotes are also sent to different platforms, which may display them.
How long until people get banned from various communities for voting on something unrelated?
Now

Mods can see votes from Tesseract
Sorry, I'm not being clear. Not that you can see general upvotes and downvotes, but I could see everything you personally have upvoted or downvoted. So if someone in a community I mod is downvoting everything, I could see that and ban them.
Edit: Or maybe you're saying that I can do that there?
As a mod, you can see who votes what in your community using Tesseract

Karma-farming on Lemmy makes basically no sense because it doesn't even natively report it. I installed a Firefox add-on that tabulates it but it's slow and clunky. Functionally no one sees a user's karma.
kbin/mbin shows "reputation points," which is a combination of post and comment votes.
I have no idea what it means.
It means nothing, just like karma

What is this "Karma" they speak of ?
Motivation for chronically online karma farmers who post the most worthless and agreeable content only in order to have line go up.

I think it has something to do with upvotes...

But please sir. My family is starving.
I do miss seeing my total points even though it means nothing. Number go up means brain feel nice.
Unironically the simplest explanation for not allowing rich people to be rich XD
I also like it when number go up
