There’s some misinformation floating around regarding Lemmy not having a karma system. While many have discovered otherwise, this is for those who may not have.

While it’s not exposed in the Lemmy default user interface, Lemmy does have a fully functional karma system and it is visible in third party clients such as WefWef and Memmy.

Do with that what you will.

    I’m pretty sure that’s not true. I had 320k+ Karma on reddit when the admins banned me for participating in the protests and I regularly posted things that got very few upvotes.

      Yeah that’s definitely not the case. Karma is used to determine how frequently a user can post or comment, so that bot created accounts are limited from instantly flooding a subreddit or comment thread. It isn’t visibility or automatic upvotes.
