Download Lemmy Karma Calculator for Firefox. Displays a user's Lemmy score (aka. karma) in their profile (eg. https://lemmy.ml/u/Yoru). Requires you to be logged in.
source code is availabe here. I'd appreciate feedbacks!
No offense, but I don't like this. Not having Karma is one of the main advantages lemmy has. Karma sucks.
well, it doesn't have to be called "Karma", it's called "Score" in Lemmy's API. I'm probably going to rename it.
Yes, but people will be starting to react or act to get 'score'. It incentivises certain behaviour.
No I think there's a total score that is saved in your account but is hidden from the frontend
While I appreciate your effort and your generosity, unless I’m involved in a conversation about Buddhism, I would be perfectly happy to never hear the word “karma” again.
well, I was going to change its name to score or something anyways bcuz karma belongs to reddit (at least I think so)
mlmym frontend shows it, although it shows different values depending on the instance:
How do you tally it? I've seen lots of discussions about guesses about how the reddit system works.
I run an API request on loop until there are no posts/comments left. Then I somply add up their score. Sorry for the late response btw
Ko problem. Ok, so just the sum of all up- and downvotes. No dicounting for viral posts, etc.
Ok. Reddit has some really elaborate system where the first upvotes gives 1 karma, then after upvote 500 or something, each only gives 0.5 karma or something, etc.
I don't see the point of downvoting this. You have to install the extension to see your karma score. So I don't see what's the big deal is. Clam down, people.
EDIT My biggest problem is this add-on needs access your data for all websites. Why not Lemmy sites only?
