Users’ aggregate post and comment score has been entirely removed from the Lemmy API (as of version 0.19.0 if I remember correctly). It is not easily accessible to anyone, including admins. You could write a script to sum a user’s aggregate score.
Thanks. I love that we’ve got several active alternatives we can communicate with on the threadiverse now. I like Lemmy but I hope they continue to proliferate.
Well, in that your upvote total and ratio can be calculated, at least. Does it actually do anything, or can it do anything, like it did on reddit? Subs having minimum karma thresholds, that sort of thing? If not, it’s truly meaningless and can be safely ignored by everyone.
I didn’t think karma existed on Lemmy? Or maybe it was removed in ann update?
It exists, your total just isn’t visible to anyone but admins.Users’ aggregate post and comment score has been entirely removed from the Lemmy API (as of version 0.19.0 if I remember correctly).

This pleases me greatly. This is the ethos.
Oh I guess I missed that update. Thanks for the correction.
its completely public via non-lemmy systems https://moist.catsweat.com/u/@[email protected]
Interesting. Your instance is from another platform, right? Is it Piefed or mbin?
Is this just basically karma or what does it mean?
yep, im coming from an mbin instance. its basically karma… upvotes - downvotes.
it really helps identifying spammers/trolls quickly.

Does it persist through comment/post removal/deletion?
i believe mbin has cascading deletes, which should alter the aggregation if things get deleted.
Removed by mod
no. Its great for catching trolls.
it literally hurts no one for existing

That’s what I do.
