    You could post this comment with the reply and get that… nevermind there isn’t karma here.

      Sorry off topic, but any chance you could explain to me what’s the difference between up and down voting here Vs. karma? Are they not all just fake internet points?

        Karma is the total upvotes - downvotes across all posts made by an account on reddit; on the fediverse there is only upvotes (likes or boosts depending on implementation) and downvotes (dislikes) per post. Theoretically you could calculate it for your account, but because you cant display it anywhere (and it isnt used for anything) it wouldnt be of much use.

        No problem, when I talk about karma I mean the number on reddit that shows up on your profile for post karma / comment karma. There isn’t karma here. There is up voting and down voting but it will only reflect on that post and means nothing to your account overall!
