Community block when?

Yeah, it was right for a while on mine, then not so much, now it looks like it’s right again, or close to it at least. I am trying out Memmy now, and it also shows a total score. Looks like it shows both upvotes and downvotes too, which will probably drive a lot of people insane.
Except for there is. It’s just most apps don’t allow you to easily see it, but some (wefwef in particular) do.
It does keep track, but not all apps display it. Several do, the one I use, wefwef, does so I assumed they all did, but that’s not the case.
I just read in another thread that the scores are only visible in some apps, but not others. I have only been using wefwef, and it’s visible there(although supposedly not correctly), but I guess not everywhere so most people seem to think the scores don’t exist.
It’s wonky, but that’s kind of part of the charm, I guess.
I noticed when I had made 4 comments, it correctly displayed the total of all my scores, which I think was like 12 at the time, but now that I’ve made a few more, that add up to like 20 something it says my total is 8.
Maybe it’s just really shit at math?
I saw a post about how there is no Karma on Lemmy, but every user still has post scores and comment scores displayed. Isn’t that literally the exact same thing?
Except for the ones that didn’t.
Since we’re on the topic, I’d love to be able to use wildcards to block words and phrases from being displayed. I don’t care one bit about genshin impact, and over on reddit there were hundreds of /r/mains subreddits that I had to block one at a time. Would be great to be able to block something like *mains and get them all with one keyword.
Came here looking for this. I loved browsing /r/all and using the block feature of Apollo to curate my personal list of things I want to see (or more often, things I don’t mind seeing more of). Being able to get that process started here would greatly improve my enjoyment of this platform.
Personally, I hate the idea of pet names for any large community.
This one is particularly awful, however. I plan on ignoring it, but if it really does catch on to where it isn’t ignorable it will have an impact on my use of the service.
Ok, nevermind, I think I figured out what’s going on. And discovered another strange issue that may or may not need looking into if possible. Turns out, the comment I made was in a shitpost community that I used Memmy to block. So now it doesn’t just block the posts from that community from being shown in my all feed, it actually blocks any comments, and posts that were made in that community from being shown to me across all of wefwef. This…isn’t really what I expected the block feature to do. I’m not sure that I love that, but I guess it’s fine. I know when you blocked a subreddit on Apollo it only stopped posts from that sub from showing up in your feed, but you could still see comments when you clicked on people’s profiles. I would prefer that to be how this works, but I guess since I didn’t even block the community using wefwef, this is just a limitation of how blocking on Lemmy works as a whole? Interesting.
