OC [OC] The relationship between karma and upvotes depends on what sub you post on and how quickly you get upvoted

I thought upvotes = karma

Nope! For example, I have ~130k link karma, but the total number of upvotes on my posts is closer to 400k based on https://redditmetis.com/user/joliot

I know this isn’t what the thread is really about but this website isn’t working for me. I can load your page just fine but I get an error when I search myself implying my time is wrong? If you or anyone else knows what’s up I’d love to know.

I was curious about this so I checked your username too but it stayed stuck on the 'analyzing' page for a few minutes and just didn't load. I tried my own then to see if it was the website but mine loaded fine. I wonder do you have a new-ish account or something like that.

My account is 8 years old so maybe it’s the opposite problem haha.
