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).

    There’s no karma in lemmy, just some sites which want to make it a thing and come up with their own algorithms to give some sort of score based on the upvotes and downvotes of your content.

      Lemmy, as a whole keeps track of your upvotes and downvotes. There’s no algorithm, this is just a part of all of Lemmy.

      Some apps choose to allow you to see it, and some apps don’t. There’s no boogie man that’s out there creating algorithms to try and “make karma a thing”.
