I'm just a Kbin user feeling left out as people keep referencing the whole thing as Lemmy when it's on the fediverse.
That being said I do miss the niche communities and wouldn't mind getting them here.
I joined Lemmy over Kbin because I hate that Kbin does the karma/reputation thing. It’s terrible.
Do they aggregate it?
Yes they do. Your profile has a “reputation” score. It’s cringe.
It's fairly meaningless. I didn't even know it was there. It affects nothing and I don't really see people worry about it. Not to say you should come over here suddenly, but Kbin does have better content control (though pretty sure that's only temporary as I believe Lemmy is working on it). Kbin has instance blocking so even if your instance federates with instance B, you can still block instance B. It's not a big deal and I haven't used it, but I do like having more control over what I see.
As long as there are internet points to be won and lost, no matter the affect, it will sway people to post/reply in a certain way. It’s toxic to participation and honest conversation.
Hmm I'd prefer it if I could sticky some of my posts or comments to my profile so that any visitors get a better idea of what I care about.
Often the highest rated content isn't the most meaningful or fitting.
Yea I think so, and I agree with @[email protected], I don't think it's great, and I think that it should be something that you as a user can opt out of across the fediverse.
I heard they don't aggregate their federated votes, not sure if that's true.
