There really needs to be some way to… “federate” logins. Associate your identity on one server with another

Or it’ll get you a dozen dupes of every submission.

We are the test environment. You get what you pay for.

It provides other users with an at a glance idea of your reputation, without chasing a “high score”. Could always rank users based on up/down votes, as I said, but limit the range so that as long as you’ve been active for a few months and aren’t a douchebag, your score will be maxed out.

Maybe we could still have karma, but display it as a ratio of good:bad karma or something? Active user and most of your interactions get upvoted, green dot. New user or not active for a while? Gray dot. Established user and all your content gets downvoted all the time, red dot.

Get banned from 50+ subreddits? Your color dot gets changed to a picture of u/spez.

I really need an eli5 for this fediverse thing. I’m here using Jerboa, logged in to lemmy.world. when I try and comment or vote on content on other instances, like lemmy.ml, I’m told I have to log in. Is that a Jerboa bug? Or do I really need an account on each instance to interact?
