Oh wait I posted that when I was groggy. I thought you meant comment. I'm not sure total karma is something that we will see on lemmy. But I personally never paid attention to that.
We've still got two weeks of API status quo, right? It'd be wicked if someone could manage to populate Lemmy with a huge amount of reddit content (maybe a few whole subreddits? or the last few weeks of a crapload of different smaller niche subreddits?) to jumpstart this community into a viable alternative by having similar-ish content volume.
The thing that's so daunting for me is having to start over in so many niche communities that don't exist here yet. Let's 'clone' reddit while we can and then just go cold turkey on reddit entirely on June 30th! That sure would send a message...
But for real. You can use something like a webscraper that crawls reddit via the normal web interface and create a bot account on lemmy. Then just download the reddit posts and upload them to lemmy.
I would not recommend this as lemmy.ml is currently almost at capacity and uploading tons of reddit posts does not help.
I mean we want the memes here, someone has to bring them over, and that person deserves to be paid for their work.
ok the pay is imaginary internet points but they can be redeemed for serotonin.
I'd rather have my pay in pounds-fucking-sterling but hey brain chemicals arent bad either
Sorry, seretonin machine is broken 😞
How about a high five and a nice glare

Omg I'd be way more inclined to post to gain "serotonin" over karma.
i tell you .clone reddit! local save all top reddit post and repost it here as much as possible .
But how do you clone it?
Copy the entire source code? Would that work.
Nobody cares about the source code, it's about the content.
If you use the Mlem app it actually does have an upvote/karma counter on your profile
Android moment
Jerboa has it too on Android
I can't see it
because @Ataraxia lied to you.

Karma is the total score of received up votes plus award karma.
Reddit itself calls them "imaginary internet points"
Where'd you hear that? I've only ever heard karma refer to a user's total score tallies, reddited since 2012.
I'll study the protocols to check if that's possible. What's the point of doing anything if not for Internet points that are completely useless?
Also, take my !silver. Make good use of it!
Thank you Kind stranger. I'll tip my crusty fedora
Did the rust on our machine start to develop a crust?
It ain't much but it's honest work.
Automate it with a bot.
Reddit API moment

If I had the know how, I would just create an entire instance devoted to copying Reddit. Each community would be a subreddit that got copied over
Actually don't even need the api if you're just copying the the post, simply scraping pages will do
Well then ill wip out my Python Knowledge and ill give it a shot
Do you know how to do this? Asking seriously!
With the reddit api /s

Oh I personally don't intend to, just wanted to understand how it works. Reddit has so many bots it shouldn't be too advanced programming
Angry upvote
c/angryupvote
You still get upvotes.
The exchange rate is wild too
10 upvotes to 1 unicorn
Noice mate! Hate to say it- or I mean, "unpopular opinion" but I like this site much better.
I'm a simple man, I needz karma.
I wouldn't notice 'cause I nuked all my Reddit accounts... well, I really left only one, which was the oldest account I had.
I torched my 13 year old account. Fuck 'em.
my man
Lol doing the Lord's work.
Thank you for your service.
