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

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Agreed, non-cumulative metrics are a pro, not a con.

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

all good, I just made it for fun anyways 🫡

[-] strawberry@artemis.camp 28 points 2 years ago

honestly, can we just let that die with reddit?

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

well, it doesn't have to be called "Karma", it's called "Score" in Lemmy's API. I'm probably going to rename it.

[-] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Yes, but people will be starting to react or act to get 'score'. It incentivises certain behaviour.

[-] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You have to install the extension to see your karma score. Don't install it. Problem gone.

[-] strawberry@artemis.camp 1 points 2 years ago

afaik score is just per post, not a cumulative thing visible on ur account

[-] Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 2 points 2 years ago

No I think there's a total score that is saved in your account but is hidden from the frontend

[-] strawberry@artemis.camp 1 points 2 years ago

dunno. either way, im on kbin, so could be different

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.

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

well, I was going to change its name to score or something anyways bcuz karma belongs to reddit (at least I think so)

[-] HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, I’m just a battle-scarred reddit refugee. Do what you want!

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

Thanks! Lmk if you have any suggestions :D

[-] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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?~~

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

because there are too many lemmeny instances, cannot possibly add them all

[-] Crul@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

mlmym frontend shows it, although it shows different values depending on the instance:

https://mlmym.org/lemm.ee/u/Yoru@lemmy.ml

https://old.lemmy.world/u/Yoru@lemmy.ml

[-] humanplayer2@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

How do you tally it? I've seen lots of discussions about guesses about how the reddit system works.

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] humanplayer2@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Ko problem. Ok, so just the sum of all up- and downvotes. No dicounting for viral posts, etc.

[-] Yoru@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't really understand but it's basically (all upvoted) - (all downvotes)

[-] humanplayer2@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Ok. Reddit has some really elaborate system where the first upvotes gives 1 karma, then after upvote 500 or something, each only gives 0.5 karma or something, etc.
