YSK: Lemmy DOES have a karma system - MyLemmy.win

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.

But you have to consider the difference to Reddit’s karma system. If you have a high-karma account on Reddit, your comment or post trends much higher. That’s not the case with Lemmy, as far as I know.

Interesting. I never would’ve considered that since I only sort by New. Can neither confirm nor deny because I can’t read Rust.

I thought the best/top/hot were governed by upvotes/downvotes on that specific post. Not the user's Karma.

Correct. There is no karma factor. There is a time factor that causes a post’s/comment’s rank to decay. The devs have documented their algorithm.
