I don’t think any of the other Lemmy apps are showing a total score. It doesn’t work in Connect regardless. My score was approaching 250 (showed close to 400 viewing from another instance). If you delete posts or comments it really goes off. Current score is less than 30. My account on another instance shows zero. Not sure if there’s any value in showing this number as it is quite inaccurate.
I’m not sure the dev was aware of this issue. Many on here were from Reddit and used to having a total so I think some find the feature useful. In certain instances it’s not accurate at the moment but the dev has been just getting updates like crazy so my guess is this will be fixed in the near future. Unless it’s more entangled with how Lemmy/Kbin works and a code update needs to happen there.
Right. It’s probably something in the communication somewhere, and that’s been acting up for awhile.
