On every lemmy app/instance I’ve checked, it seems that the post and comment scores on users’ profiles have been replaced by post and comment counts.
I often look at scores to quickly check a person’s credibility/involvement, and the count is much less helpful than the score in that regard. I could see this data maybe being removed because it was too server intensive to calculate, but maybe there’s some other reason.
I’ve searched and can’t seem to find any explanation for this change in release notes, but maybe I’m just not searching correctly. Does anyone know why this change was made?
So, this just means you only see the total right? Post + comment “karma” in total?
Or did I understand it wrong?
Not sure if it is possible but would’ve preferred that the entire karma/ score would just be removed. But then again, how would one do with the posts being up or down voted and such.
No. Currently it only shows you the post and comment count.
Example:
In some instances/apps, it used to show you a score of your total upvotes for those posts and comments. So if you had 3 posts that each net 7 upvotes and 10 comments that each net 5 upvotes, your score would be:
The entire score has been removed, so you can rejoice.
Ahh that’s cool! Better though, less fixation on the karma.
The current app I’m using, Avelon still shows total score though. All the other I use (Memmy, Voyager and Mlem) don’t.
Hopefully Avelon will follow.
