I think what you're asking for is (1) better information about votes you're receiving, so you know which posts are being up- or down-voted, and (2) for that information to be available in one place.

For the first, we do want to [provide this information on the user profile page](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/133).  You should be able to see information on recent votes.  Speaking for myself, if one of my posts is getting downvoted I want to know so I can try to improve it, and if one of my older posts is suddenly getting a lot of new attention in either direction, I want to look at it again to see if I should try to improve it.  Knowing how our contributions are being received is more valuable with timing information than just seeing totals.  The reputation number is the only source of information about changes right now, and it doesn't tell you where the activity happened.  That's a known deficiency, and one we plan to address.

For the second, having the changes from all communities in one place, we haven't talked about that.  We *do* need to [add a network profile](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/284), a place where all your individual accounts are linked and maybe a place to record network-wide preferences, but we haven't talked about other uses for that profile yet.  I think our approach is going to be to first get this information on existing user profiles (one community at a time) and then figure out what else is feasible.  (By the way, our team lead thinks the issue I linked here doesn't require a lot of Ruby knowledge -- if anyone's interested in trying it, please comment on the GitHub issue.)
