That’s the way to go, the number doesn’t matter at all.

Many apps display them as “comment score” and “post score”. And the Lemmy API let’s you request that data, so it’s stored.

Well karma is just called “points” here, I don’t think that’s enough of a difference

Yes, everyone can see it they do not even need to be logged in to the instance.

Well you still choose the instance your on. Don’t use one from an uknown party. If you can, just host it yourself, it’s not very demanding. But I find signal to be much simpler to introduce to your parents for example, just because it’s like Whatsapp and just works.

I just told my parents if they want to contact me they have to use signal, because I deleted Whatsapp. That worked pretty well
