    “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.

        Yeah, it always baffled me. At least with memes, etc. It makes sense with political content, for example. But memes? Those internet points must really trigger the dopamine.

      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?
