Now I have to login to Mastodon to post a meme about Misskey (fediverse microblog system, primarily used by Japanese Twitter refugees, mainly smaller artists).
@Zyratoxx wait, is this a Kbin thread right now? Am I posting to a thread from Mastodon?
Yes, you have replied to a thread on kbin. At least, I assume it shows up in kbin. I'm actually replying from Lemmy right now. The fediverse is beautiful.
Lemmy gang
Yup, I posted this from Kbin, on a Lemmy instance and afaik Mastodon users (Idk how they call themselves) can also see them and react as long as they all federate. Please correct me if I'm wrong ^-^
[Edit:] I didn't scroll to see this was already resolved
@Zyratoxx I knew they all federated, but it's so seamless it's surprising. Just not used to that kind of functionality!
I agree, it's pretty awesome :D
Yes :)
Here's a link if you want to see how it looks from the other side: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/49107/Downvotes-count-but-upvotes-don-t-and-boosts-count-as-upvotes#comments
I'm really confused. Is this like reddit's karma system? I hope not. I never like the karma system.
It should be, but currently people are farming negative reputation (karma) because downvotes generate negative rep but only boosts (which is like retweeting/crossposting to your profile) generate positive rep
What's even happening at this point?
Oh, thats why my rep is only going down. I hope they will think about this, because it makes no sense whatsoever.
I have a suspicion this is because they recently swapped boosts and upvotes to play nicer with the wider fediverse, but they didn't update the reputation system to match
I certainly hope that. Right now I do not care that I am deeply into minus reps while having lots of upvotes, but when magazins/communities start to lock out accounts from interacting until they have certain rep, it won't be as good.
Ernest mentioned it will be changed :

Hell yes!
can someone translate this to lemmy? Do I have reputation points Im unaware of? I thought I was freeeeee
Yup, at least here on kbin, you've got reputation, and it's even positive: congrats
