Torn between replying with "this!" as a meme about how generic responses like that are used to farm karma and making a joke about how "of course someone with only 1 reputation point would say there's no karma equivalent." Idk how reputation works and if its only internal to instances or a shared across instances. But its possible it does become a karma equivalent in the future.
Lol, I think the first one would definitely have flown over my head without explanation. Also, I don't know if it's instance specific, but I can't seem to find my reputation on my profile, neither on feddit.de/lemmy-ui or Jerboa. Where do you get that information?
Maybe it could be useful for moderators or admins to access that information? But that also poses the risk of accounts "reputation-farming" like on reddit to sell the account to some bot-farm that uses it for astro-turfing or sth similar.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the reputation thing is a Kbin feature, at least everyone I've seen mention it so far has been on a Kbin instance.
I do not think Lemmy has the same thing, but don't quote me on that!
Reputation seems borked at the moment, it counts downvotes but not upvotes so I'm sitting at -34 right now lol
Boosting is the only way for reputation to go up. I boosted you for science.
I'm not sure I feel comfortable taking advice from a person with -51 reputation...
Ooo everybody come look at Mr. Non-controversial over here with his +40 reputation.
We have learned from experience.
Interesting! I gave you a boost as well, also for science. Funny how we all seem to be tinkering and figuring what does what here.
It adds your comment to my profile feed if anyone is following me. I think it's a way to work better with Mastodon like sites but I don't really know. I understand that @ernest is in the midst of changing that.
