Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

      For Lemmy?

      Some apps add it up for you. One of the apps I use frequently is Voyager (on Android), and it shows it on the profile page.

      For example, here’s yours: (I assume I can’t see 100% of the votes though, in case your instance is federated with any that mine’s not"

        I wrote an extension for firefox that shows your collective karma so I was wondering if you were using it, this is cool as well

                  Aww, yeah some people really hate the idea of “karma” because it’s just useless internet points, but early reddit knew what they were doing by adding them. It encourages engagement when monke brain sees number go up.

                  I say that it’s harmless fun.
