Just a note, lemmy does have a karma system. The default UI doesn't show this but I believe apps like wefwef/memmy expose this data.
Yeah, Connect shows it too. But in my experience, at least with connect, it's not reliable. The value changes (sometimes drastically). I noticed this early when my score went from ~80 to ~40 and checked if I had any comments/posts that were suddenly heavily downvoted (there were none).
Esit: Just checked with wefwef - points aren't even the same between apps.
Edit 2: here's a short discussion that touches on what I've mentioned.
