Just joined Lemmy today. From what I understand, there are different Lemmy instances that host different communities. I supposed that to interact in a community hosted in a certain instance, I would need to create an account for that instance. Ended up creating 10 different accounts.
There is a karma system! At least on kbin where you are. You have 1 reputation point.
Do you know what goes in to reputation points? Do downvotes have a negative effect? Genuinely asking.
Yes, my rep is terrible, so it’s def dv’s from mostly upset liberals (the global sense, and the American sense).
No idea! Haha
Last I saw, kbin's reputation was broken. Used to be that boosts and upvotes were swapped for Lemmy compatibility and the reputation counter hadn't yet been updated to account for that.
It might still be, I'm not sure. I have no idea what it is counting in the first place though 😅
