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?
Yeah I think so
