I know that karma is a contentious issue on Lemmy, but I like having the feature where it is displayed on user profiles. For trolls especially, it helps to know if they should be ignored or not, like if they have -3000 karma for example. I have always noticed karma appearing in boost when viewing a user's profile, but today after logging out and back in, I noticed I no longer have that feature. Karma is no longer shown on profiles for me.

It doesn't seem like anyone else is having the issue and the recent changelog entries don't mention it. Did I inadvertently change a setting and now I just can't find that setting to change it back?

I think Lemmy itself killed the karma thing, they decided to stop "gamifying" the upvote/downvote system or something like that.

Hmm, so I guess that means the new API version just doesn't even provide that data?

Exactly, Lemmy 0.19 doesn't return the karma, it has been removed

Hmm, alright then.

Thanks for making and maintaining such a great app, Ruben! In my mind, Boost is by far the best app of its kind.
