A rainbow pentagram at that! The gay cabal has really slipped up and revealed themselves this time! Now all we need to do is arrest this leader of the fediverse and...
Whats that? They have no leader?
Drats! Foiled again.
You joke, but those Facebook boomers will 100% say this shit

Wait a minute... They're commies!
you forgot that it's an inverted pentagram, rotated 33 degrees counterclockwise...
which is an unmistakable freemasonry symbol
The secret is that Lemmy is tracking karma, it just doesn't show it. There are fields in the database that hold the total comment score and total post score.
Yeah I recognize it's a decision from the admins here, but it's one I approve of heavily for reasons said when I posted this to the fediverse channel. The motivation behind posting is less tainted this way.
Nah I don't think there is an option to show it in Lemmy. It just seems it's there in the database either in anticipation of adding the feature, or because because of changed plans.
Karma is viewable with WefWef.
It doesn't seem to be accurate. It shows 20 comment karma and 1 post karma for me in wefwef, but even scrolling back thorough the comments shows way more. The database shows hundreds of each for me.
I don't know how wefwef calculates karma but it must be guessing.
I noticed when I had made 4 comments, it correctly displayed the total of all my scores, which I think was like 12 at the time, but now that I’ve made a few more, that add up to like 20 something it says my total is 8.
Maybe it’s just really shit at math?
It's probably not being used as it's just another thing that can bog down the servers during lemmy's most critical time.
All the calculations are being done already, so it wouldn't be saving and server time. I think it's just something they might have done because if you decide to do it later I bet it gets a lot more difficult to retroactively calculate it.
Whoa, your art is dope. Thanks for linking. Im a fan now.
Thanks for checking it out! You can subscribe here or to any of those socials if preferred.
do you have an rss feed that i can follow?
I'm hoping this sort of feature comes soon but for now I do not.
ok thanks for replying!
also your art is fantastic
I'm glad Lemmy have no karma system. Reddit's karma system is just awful!

This doesn't make sense without karma..
Take my gold kind stranger! 🥉
Really cool to see Lemmy /u/ URL’s in the artists’ contact links area becoming a thing now!
satanize- pardon sanitized the platform from corporate greed
I've been assuming it's meant to portray the network of federated servers.
It shows that we are all connected (with gay demons)
That is in fact, the right answer.
Moreover, it's meant to indirectly be a visual of this idea, the "network effect": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe%27s_law The more connections, the more diversity.
Gorgeous art OP
That's a high quality shitpost right there, the shitpost pit hungers for more
I thought it was the usual speech bubble alteration post until the last panel

Wefwef shows karma
It does, but it's wrong. How does it work?
it mostly doesn't
(the lemmy backend is in fact tracking karma but federated upvotes and general instability are fucking shit up a lot)
It's likely the same reason subscriber count numbers only count lemmy.world members who subscribe, not all subscribers from across the fediverse. Once I realized that, this place felt a lot less small.
idk
yes, yes, yes,...
Glad you came to lemmy ! I would've said it was hand drawn if I didn't know you used AI. You're paving the way for none artists to make comics.
Most of my comics include some hand drawn elements but all start off as a generated images of somesort. You still need to be an artist to do this stuff well, I'm just open and honest about my methods. Thanks for reading!

Sorry for the multiple posts, app said comments were failing to upload!
There's reputation, like karma, over on kbin.
Yeah I always thought the k in kbin represented "karma bin" so you can have a reddit alt that still had profile karma. That's why his speech gets cut off in the first response "ye-" like saying "yes but kbin has.." etc.
Did you know that on the screenshots from the Boost for Lemmy app on Google Play, there is this post of yours downvoted?
Hahahahhahahaa okay just seeing this now after being Mia for a while on Lemmy. This make me so happy. Don't care if it's a downvotes that's awesome.
