Help me understand points on Lemmy. How are they different than karma? And how are they impacted by posts that get spread to other federated services like Mastodon? Thank you!

    Good summary! There are however apps that sum up the points of your comments and posts and show them on your profile. This is only accurate for your own profile , as posts of others on other instances are not guaranteed to federate and taken into account.

      So the account points count picture I posted is 1) due to Jerboa and 2) only on that app?

        1. Not just Jebora, it seems to happen on Wefwef and I think Connect too.

        If you open Lemmy on your standard browser app and navigate to your profile, you won’t see a points total, just a Posts made and Comments made total.

      Congratulations, kbin tells me you have a reputation score of 309!
      (Noting, as you did, that kbin will only know about a subset of your activity…)
