Karma emoji reactions don't always post a message to the karma channel

This is expected behaviour, not a bug.Karma only posts a card to the #karma channel for the first emoji reaction on a message. Any additional reactions after the first are still counted and awarded according to your Reaction mode setting — but they do not trigger additional public posts.How many karma points are awarded depends on your Reaction modeIn Settings → Reactions, there are two modes:1 karma max — no matter how many people react with the karma emoji, the message author receives a maximum of 1 karma point total. Only the first reaction posts to the channel.1 reaction = 1 karma — each emoji reaction awards 1 karma point to the message author. If three people react, the author receives 3 karma points. Only the first reaction posts to the channel — the remaining two are counted silently.Example using "1 reaction = 1 karma" modeA colleague posts a message. Three people react with the karma emoji. The first reaction posts a card to #karma and awards 1 point. The second and third reactions each award 1 point but post nothing to the channel. The author ends up with 3 karma points total — all three visible in the dashboard and feed.If you want to verify all reactions were countedOpen the Karma dashboard and check the Feed. Every reaction that triggered karma will appear there regardless of whether it generated a channel notification.
