For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Wtf, I thought there's no personal karma on Lemmy at all. Y U have karma?
Cause he's a mod, duh!
/s for those that need it.
Idk, I'm using Boost and that's what it shows
Hey I guess I should probably update my CV to include "Internet moderator" now...
Kidding aside, I don't want to disrupt the community and the members just to get noticed. I don't even know how I got to be a moderator in the first place, and I'm not sure a mod can just pick anyone and make them a mod without that person's approval.
With such communities, there is barely anything to do as a moderator. Once every year, someone will whine at you because another one is "rude". You just ignore him. Maybe an advertisement or two to remove. That's all.
there isn't karma as such, but up/downvotes are readily available and from that you can trivially get a total to display.
In theory there's even nothing preventing you from using a fancier algorithm to calculate something like reddit's karma, but then that wouldn't agree with what most clients display.
