That's because more people follow the lemmy version of memes than the kbin version
Oh, thats why my rep is only going down. I hope they will think about this, because it makes no sense whatsoever.
I have a suspicion this is because they recently swapped boosts and upvotes to play nicer with the wider fediverse, but they didn't update the reputation system to match
I certainly hope that. Right now I do not care that I am deeply into minus reps while having lots of upvotes, but when magazins/communities start to lock out accounts from interacting until they have certain rep, it won't be as good.
Ernest mentioned it will be changed :

Hell yes!
@Zyratoxx wait, is this a Kbin thread right now? Am I posting to a thread from Mastodon?
Yes, you have replied to a thread on kbin. At least, I assume it shows up in kbin. I'm actually replying from Lemmy right now. The fediverse is beautiful.
can someone translate this to lemmy? Do I have reputation points Im unaware of? I thought I was freeeeee
Yup, at least here on kbin, you've got reputation, and it's even positive: congrats
I'm really confused. Is this like reddit's karma system? I hope not. I never like the karma system.
It should be, but currently people are farming negative reputation (karma) because downvotes generate negative rep but only boosts (which is like retweeting/crossposting to your profile) generate positive rep
