I recently found this Firefox extension that looks safe (I checked some network activity but DOUBLE CHECK) and brings back Karma on Lemmy!

INB4: if you don’t like karma on lemmy, you are in good company. There is no need to hate the ones that do like them.

Of course being unofficial it’s just a cosmetic feature, so it hopefully can be a funny thing without going to be toxic like on Reddit.

How much karma do u have?

    If you want to see your “Karma” Kbin natively has a reputation feature - Having said that I disagree with the idea entirely.

    It isn’t a good way to gauge trustworthiness as it can easily be farmed by posting large amounts of mediocre content that people are likely just to upvote passively.

    It’s far better to just look at someone’s post history to see the substance of their contributions to the site - obviously that takes more work to check, but it’s also way harder to fake.
