I need to pump up my contribution numbers to match Flyingsquid’s to further dispel that Reddit urban myth that “Lemmy is not active that’s why I’m not currently using the platform”

    What about Karma (or whatever it’s called on Lemmy?) my understanding is it doesn’t “officially” exist but some apps are able to surface the stat anyway?

      It’s not exposed through the API anymore (as of 0.19.0). I don’t think Lemmy-UI ever displayed it, but some apps did since the API had the data.

      It’s still in the DB, technically, but it’s not guaranteed to be accurate and even then, it’s only accurate as far as your instance knows about the activities of the user.

        Ah that’s why I don’t see it anymore in my apps. Man, I liked seeing the number go up and having the good chemicals get released.
