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.
Yeah that’s definitely not the case. Karma is used to determine how frequently a user can post or comment, so that bot created accounts are limited from instantly flooding a subreddit or comment thread. It isn’t visibility or automatic upvotes.
