There’s some misinformation floating around regarding Lemmy not having a karma system. While many have discovered otherwise, this is for those who may not have.
While it’s not exposed in the Lemmy default user interface, Lemmy does have a fully functional karma system and it is visible in third party clients such as WefWef and Memmy.
Do with that what you will.
Min account age / min karma are horrible for the new user experience though.
You sign up to say something only to find out you can’t.
Yer, great way to kill momentum of a new community that is built around discussion.
