OP tryna karma farm by boosting the fuck out of their posts when they’re new posts (from any account), so that they make it near the top of the hot section and then they downvote the top few posts so that theirs gets pushed even further, seen them doing it a bunch of times. What a loser lmao.
“Karma farming” isn’t even possible on Lemmy. There’s literally no total of up- and downvotes displayed anywhere. And having a meme artificially pushed to the top without reason seems to be nonsensical to me.
It’s a kbin account, we have reputation points here, similar to Reddit karma. Even if they post to a lemmy community from kbin, upvotes and boosts will give them karma
There was no point to it on Reddit either but that obviously did not stop people.
Someone coming from reddit that doesn’t understand how lemmy works? Will it be a self correcting problem once they realize there’s absolutely nothing to be gained by shilling posts? Will be interesting to see how this plays out. On a related note, does anyone know if you block a user are their votes still included in the totals you see for posts and comments?
