    Intentionally, Lemmy itself doesn’t total your upvotes and downvotes. You can go to your profile and see them for a given comment or post, but not an overall total. Some apps do show it.

    Most of us agree that Reddit karma caused people to post and say things just for the karma, which was an overall negative. People put too much value in the score. So while we have upvotes and downvotes, they’re deemphasized, and that’s on purpose.

      My post was mostly lighthearted. But ir might be concerning that Lemmy doesnt incentive activity somehow . Aggregators are as good as how many people participate
