I noticed my ‘karma’ score dropped significantly today from 1:1 to a random, far lower number. (I’m referring to my account total score.)
Earlier my post score was over 1000 and now it is ~300.
Anyone know why this is? A bug, perhaps?
Edit: judging by the enormously helpful silent downvotes, I’m assuming the karma scores I’m referring to are limited to Voyager (my app of choice).
My assumption currently is that Lemmy totals your karma over a certain amount of time, e.g a week. So instead of displaying your overall total score, it’s really showing you your score over the past [insert time period, e.g a week].
This is purely guess work but I have noticed it appears to reset as well.
That makes sense. I did notice minor fluctuations before but I only really started posting today so it was more noticeable.
