Yeah making discussions into addictions, not because of the subject, but because of the good boy points was always stupid.

God I hated all the joke comments that wound up at the top with thousands of upvotes. Just one big circle jerk on many serious topics. I’m sure it’ll still occur in Lemmy to some extent but hopefully the lack of karma will help keep it down.

If there's no karma, then what are the two numbers that "Thunder" displays next to my account age?

[-] sparky678348@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Is thunder a Lemmy browser?

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, but it's only available via GitHub which means you gotta update it manually... No PlayStore or F-Droid atm afaik

If Android wasn't whack it would be a very simple script to update it automatically from the GitHub, compiled from source.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah :')

I’ve got the same with Memmy. I think these apps just add your upvotes and downvotes together to give you a score. Reddit, on the other hand, had a complex karma system, where the more upvotes/downvotes your post would get, the less those would be worth, so you couldn’t just get a massive karma score from just a couple popular posts

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and didn't early upvotes count more than later ones?

There is a score kept in the backend, it just has no frontend in default lemmy and only exists if instance devs want to do something custom with it. Some apps are probably using it.
