to be fair though, getting a 1000+ upvote post on Lemmy feels like whatever drug Musk is on constantly

Karma farming is horrible.
I hand out up votes like candy because engagement is how we're going to get new users and kill the other site. I'd rather people karma farm here than by putting money in the pockets of the ultra-rich tbh
Trust, lemmys already kind of an echo chamber, but it's our echo chamber so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can't say I've ever seen that happen.
Upvote my comment. After 300+ I post feet pic.
Upvote my comment to 300+ or else I post feet pic
Edit: you people had your chance. 
I was unsure about the change back when 'Karma' counts were removed from Lemmy. I don't think that I have missed them ever, as a user, mod, or admin.
i think user total upvotes/downvotes is public, so people can check it out if that's their thing
I was told by an admin that admins can see what everyone upvotes and downvotes and that they're going to give mods that access in the future.
@pelespirit Because Lemmy is federated, your upvotes and downvotes are also sent to different platforms, which may display them.
How long until people get banned from various communities for voting on something unrelated?
Mods can see votes from Tesseract
Sorry, I'm not being clear. Not that you can see general upvotes and downvotes, but I could see everything you personally have upvoted or downvoted. So if someone in a community I mod is downvoting everything, I could see that and ban them.
Edit: Or maybe you're saying that I can do that there?
As a mod, you can see who votes what in your community using Tesseract
I'm currently in tesserect looking for how to do that. I can't even find the moderation tools, lol.
Edit: Is there a guide on moderation for that template?
Anyone can see it from k/mbin as well
Mbin doesn't show downvotes
Karma-farming on Lemmy makes basically no sense because it doesn't even natively report it. I installed a Firefox add-on that tabulates it but it's slow and clunky. Functionally no one sees a user's karma.
kbin/mbin shows "reputation points," which is a combination of post and comment votes.
I have no idea what it means.
I honestly think it's kinda lame since you can't see who is just being a troll. That said, there's only like 15 or so people on here so it's not that big a deal as you pretty quickly learn who people are and can just block them or whatever. lol
I also never thought it was a big deal on reddit!; never understood why the people that "didn't care" about karma seemed to care so much about others having it.
In newer versions of Lemmy you can quickly check someone's modlog:

That helps from time to time to see who you're dealing with
What is this "Karma" they speak of ?
I do miss seeing my total points even though it means nothing. Number go up means brain feel nice.
Unironically the simplest explanation for not allowing rich people to be rich XD
I also like it when number go up
Edit: wow this really blew up! Thanks for the gold kind stranger
