Help me understand points on Lemmy. How are they different than karma? And how are they impacted by posts that get spread to other federated services like Mastodon? Thank you!

    I don’t know if this is the same across all Lemmy instances, but I believe that on Kbin, at least, points are a 1:1 count of your upvotes/downvotes/boosts, with boosts counting as 2 upvotes. So if you make a post that gets 10 upvotes, 5 boosts, and 3 downvotes, you have 17 points on your profile.
