The real galaxy brain is you, a kbin user, posting a meme about kbin, on a lemmy magazine.
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).
That’s because more people follow the lemmy version of memes than the kbin version
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!
@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
Yes :)
Here’s a link if you want to see how it looks from the other side: https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml/t/49107/Downvotes-count-but-upvotes-don-t-and-boosts-count-as-upvotes#comments
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
@Joseph_of_Earth I am even replying to your comment from Friendica 😀

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?
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
It’s just bugged atm lol
