If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

    Lol yeah I heard my rep on kbin is kinda sh.it. I can’t see that on the Lemmy side.

    Can you minus someone’s reputation without downvoting them? Because I feel like I’ve had like 5 comments that were downvoted, if that.

    I ran into some unsavory people when I was first exploring the fediverse and I think they group downrepped(?) me. Just for being smart.

      Imma boost some of your comments, and we can see if that changes anything.

      Edit: So yeah, boosting counts for your rep. At this point I feel like I’m just playing with your account though. If you want me to remove all the boosts I just did, just say the word. Otherwise I’ll leave them.

      So I got nosey, and checked out your profile. I’m really confused by your reputation of -31. What I heard was upvotes don’t count for rep, but downvotes and boosts do. Do you know, did you get some comments mass reported or something? Maybe reports count against? Maybe it’s buggy with non kbin accounts? I’d suggest hitting boost on your own posts, that might help. I know the first day I was active, my rep went up, with me having like 2 upvotes, but also boosting my own posts. It seems weird that you boosting your own stuff would have a positive effect, but I think it might. I included a screen shot of your rep page, so you can make of it what you will… I’m mostly guessing. FYI comments was the only category that had any affect on your rep, all other categories were empty.

        I can’t hit boost from Lemmy though.

        I don’t even care that much, if I say the right thing people will upvote regardless. And if they don’t… I will hunt them down
