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.

    I used to create a new account on reddit every few years to “reset” my Internet presence.

    Didn’t give a shit about karma, still don’t.

      Same here. If any of my friends correctly identify my username as me, my annual account reset puts them back to square one…not that my accounts were anything but completely tame.

      Also nice username!

        Reminds me of California and Bay Area related posts. 98% of the people have never even been there and just lie and exaggerate its problems.
