@holo_nexus I want to point the post of me created a few hours ago before the pseudo fix. The developer replied there, so you might be interested: https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/125046/Why-don-t-upvotes-count#entry-comment-490554 It's a quick fix and there is still some work to be done. But yes, this pretty much confirms it.

I was kinda hoping the whole "Reputation" thing could just be deleted so we don't get the karmawhoring problem that plagued Reddit, but now, I guess I can actually upvote someone more than once, so that's a thing!

Oh, baby, I don't even know where to start spending all these!

🥳 nice one @ernest

What does this mean for boost now?

It feels a little weird to me that we can manually upvote our own comments and posts on kbin.

Reddit would automatically set them at +1 because it’s implied that the author would want to upvote their own contributions, and it’s one less hassle if it’s done automatically.

Alternatively, new posts and comments can start at 0, but then I feel like authors should not be able to upvote their own contributions.

Yep, I didn‘t even notice.

We'll I have a bunch now, so it's fixed as far as I can tell. It'd be nice to just have it hidden though tbh, or we'll just get the same karma farming garbage over here that we had on Reddit.

My personal opinion, of course.

Can confirm.

Damn. I'm finally in the positive.
Not that I care too much about imaginary internet points, but a couple "controversial" (differing opinions) comments on a topic and you looked like a negative karma troll at first glance.

Looks like karma is back on the menu boiiis.

I see it got fixed too, I was at like -102 because I thought that submarine company should have paid for its own search and rescue lol

Just checked my profile and... it has to be. I went from -1k-something reputation to 6000+ in the course of today. only way that could've happened is if the upvotes thing is fixed.

I am guessing so since just before I saw this post I checked my profile and it was at 3k. Up from 200 or so.

I have to say I'm lowkey dissapointed, it was fun seeing my score bouncing around 0.

The bulk of the accounts had either sub-zero or single-digit reputation, which was weird. And it maybe have discouraged people from joining kbin from reddit, where karma was more easy to understand.

Hrm wonder if it's working quite right. 3k seems high for me.

Yeah, they fixed it.

Is that why everyone got super boosted =O ? Cool! thank you, Ernest!

It seems like they applied this retroactively as well. I remember my account (this one, from lemmy.world) having four reputation points, and I barely had any activity yesterday. It's now over 900.

Not that I really get to see it unless I really seek it out.
