Hi guys just wanted to know if Lemmy has any karma count for people in their profile like Reddit has? If so is it public and How can I access it? Edit: Thanks guys I'm so relieved that this kind of stuff is not prevalent here. I love the Fediverse ❤️

I know some clients show that, but the culture here is generally quite against the concept. Tends to lead to people being scared of going against the majority and creates a hive mind mentality to keep karma high.

Hive mind mentality sums up Reddit culture pretty accurately. so happy to be here

Unfortunately you're not out of the weeds yet. Lemmy has plenty of hive mind mentality

Atleast it's not rewarding (hypothetically) like Reddit

I mean, it's the same, except you don't get a total number across all your posts.

The hive mind is here as well.

It changes from server to server and community to community. It's important to keep in mind that a world news community is not only a world news community; it's a world news community hosted at a specific instance. Some of them will be run better than others, and if one gets the feeling one community attracts the wrong audience one might be better off avoiding it and checking if someone has already started an alternative community somewhere else.

That, and blocking people who make no valuable contribution.

Yeah I get it. I guess that's just what people are. We crave being approved by other

Don't get me started on Karma farming bots. A Karma system does more harm than good.

Cannot agree more. I say things all the time here that people hate and downvote me for but the numbers are even more useless here than on Reddit so it's difficult to care.
