Just save this as karma.py and run it with Python 3.6 or higher.
import requests
import math
INSTANCE_URL = "https://feddit.de"
TARGET_USER = "ENTER_YOUR_USERNAME_HERE"
LIMIT_PER_PAGE = 50
l = Lemmy(INSTANCE_URL)
res = requests.get(f"{INSTANCE_URL}/api/v3/user?username={TARGET_USER}&limit={LIMIT_PER_PAGE}").json()
totalPostScore = 0
totalCommentScore = 0
page = 1
while len(res["posts"])+len(res["comments"]) > 0:
totalPostScore += sum([ x["counts"]["score"] for x in res["posts"] ])
totalCommentScore += sum([ x["counts"]["score"] for x in res["comments"] ])
page += 1
res = requests.get(f"{INSTANCE_URL}/api/v3/user?username={TARGET_USER}&limit={LIMIT_PER_PAGE}&page={page}").json()
print("Post karma: ", totalPostScore)
print("Comment karma: ", totalCommentScore)
print("Total karma: ", totalPostScore+totalCommentScore)
Yeah, it’s only for each user to run if they want to. I like to. I don’t care about others’ score. It’s just for me to know.
I’ve read the discussions on that topic, and I agree that it should not be publicly visible, at least not next to the posts. If at all maybe in the user profile. But honestly I don’t care about that aspect.
I just want to know where I’m standing.
I’ve earned ~10% of my Reddit karma in just-over-two-weeks that I have been here, even though there are far fewer people here than on Reddit, so that’s concerning ;)
But that’s what I wanted to know and I go that info.
