Is it possible / planned to get the Karma displayed on the ProfilePage?
The API would allow it.

I don't think the API supports it see LemmyNet/lemmy#2370 (comment)

[twizmwazin]

Lemmy currently doesn't support this in its API, so I'm gonna mark this one as not planned. If Lemmy ever does end up adding this API we can revisit.

We do actually have these in the API, but are against showing them in any client. They promote karma farming and are psychologically harmful.

[WreckingBANG]

Oh. Ok. Your right.

I agree karma farming being psychologically harmful. With that in mind just a thought, if you think knowing someone has a negative karma is somehow informative, maybe instead of showing the actual value, maybe just display an icon if in the negative. I'm not sure on the social use of this, maybe best to think of the repercussions before hand.
