Have a question.
I'm new to this whole thing (4 days) and really enjoying the sharing. There is a link karma and a comment karma next to my name. Can anyone tell me what that is please. Blessings to all out there, will send out more pizza on payday. :~)

Link karma does not count on random acts of pizza, as we use only text (self) posts. The only thing it does on RAOP is move it towards "hot" when it gets enough upvotes. Link karma only counts on other parts of reddit when you submit an actual link to somewhere, and people up-and-down vote it.
Comment karma is when someone upvotes, or downvotes one of your comments, and that does count here. It shows how many people like your comment, but there are a lot of trolls that will downvote everything.
Protip: karma does not really mean much, you can't buy a house with it.
