Please excuse my sub-par JavaScript, I am a backend dev.

All you need to do is paste this into Tampermonkey and enter your username and your instance url (on two locations).

This is not showing other users' scores and it doesn't make your score visible to anyone else than yourself.

So no need for karma farming. This is just for fun.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lemmy score
