If there's no karma, then what are the two numbers that "Thunder" displays next to my account age?

I’ve got the same with Memmy. I think these apps just add your upvotes and downvotes together to give you a score. Reddit, on the other hand, had a complex karma system, where the more upvotes/downvotes your post would get, the less those would be worth, so you couldn’t just get a massive karma score from just a couple popular posts

I had a post hit the top of r/all with 41k upvotes but it never got added to my post karma. I never cared enough to try to find out, but I always kind of wondered. It was a great post. 😂

You should post it over on Lemmy if you haven’t! We could always use more content here

Yeah, and didn't early upvotes count more than later ones?

[–] cod 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I think so

Yes, but it's only available via GitHub which means you gotta update it manually... No PlayStore or F-Droid atm afaik

If Android wasn't whack it would be a very simple script to update it automatically from the GitHub, compiled from source.

There is a score kept in the backend, it just has no frontend in default lemmy and only exists if instance devs want to do something custom with it. Some apps are probably using it.

Yep, The Memmy IOS app has a lot of details on the profile page

This is why I don't use thunder.
