    It’s hard to call someone a karma farmer when Lemmy doesn’t accumulate your upvotes like Reddit did.

    The voting system is just to set view ranking for posts and comments. There are scripts that tabulate votes on an account, but that’s a lot of work that no one else will see.

      Lemmy doesn’t show it but it is accumulated, from fedia I can see you have over 42k reputation points for example.

      And yes, it is a meaningless number. That never stopped people before though.
