Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. The more you eat the more you fart. The more you fart the better you feel, so let's eat beans with every meal!
Itd be cool if we can use the updoots we get as points toward stickers or some shit that we can give to ppl. Thats all ppl wanted for the 15+ years being on reddit.
I think they mean account-scale points. As in the 30 points you get from this post and 20 from a different post total to 50 karma. Pretty core feature on Reddit and doesn't exist on Lemmy.
Ah, that. Got it. Did people really check rando's karma? I don't think I ever looked up somebody's karma, I don't even really care about mine... Individual upvotes can give a nice dopamine rush from that sweet validation, though.
Karma is tied to the person and is the sum of the score for all posts, or all comments. But it is actually counted by the server, just not displayed in the default UI. You can go /api/v3/user?username=ekZepp@lemmy.world and search for post_score or comment_score.
