Jerboa doesn't have anything to do with it, it is the app you use to access the fediverse/lemmy.
Lemmy has upvotes, downvotes and the tally of those two. Karma is a step further; on reddit, every user has a total tally (Karma) as well, where all up/downvotes of every comment and post are added together as a "score" for the user. So people post popular stuff to get upvotes and thus have a higher score (which some subreddits required to post).
Ah I see, so here, any 'karma' that is accrued is essentially just local to the thread and used to rank and sort comments therein.
