There’s some misinformation floating around regarding Lemmy not having a karma system. While many have discovered otherwise, this is for those who may not have.

While it’s not exposed in the Lemmy default user interface, Lemmy does have a fully functional karma system and it is visible in third party clients such as WefWef and Memmy.

Do with that what you will.

    It was more of a response to the minimum account karma.

    Account age is reasonable enough, after the service has grown a bit more.

    However, if people start getting banned for the wrong reasons and have to create new accounts to be able to have discussion. It does create a barrier for that discussion to take place.

      It is seriously difficult to have negative account karma on reddit unless you are an outright troll.
