As far as I can tell, there isn't a place where the total number of points that you have as a user is displayed. This takes some value away from simply mindlessly pursuing points as points would be attributed more to the individual post rather than the user.
Many apps display them as "comment score" and "post score". And the Lemmy API let's you request that data, so it's stored.
I didn't know that so thanks for telling me. I'm still gonna keep posting like there isn't a score count though because it means that I am more free to say what I want.
That's the way to go, the number doesn't matter at all.
