what do the titles under your name mean?

[Albusaur]

As of now I have a title of Farmhand or something on there. How does this work? I do not understand it. Please help me. ^_^

Fellow farmhand I see. I think it is the amount of “points” you get or something that is equivalent of you doing more on the forums. Look at the top people here and they will have a “Local Legend” and the newest have a “Greenhorn” on them. It is odd but shows how much people contribute.

I assume it's based mostly off of the in-game skill-based titles, though Local Legend isn't one of those, but rather the achievement name for repairing the community center. I don't know of a full list of titles anywhere, but they seem to all fit except that.

I'd guess that the titles are determined by a user's reaction score, since that looks like the only way to track engagement on the forum.

Edit: Never mind, I just saw that there is also a points value visible on profiles, like TheGumOnYourShoe suggested. Does anyone know what determines your points?

There's a list of the forum titles somewhere (I'll try to find it) but they work similar to Stardew itself, with you progressing through the titles as you gain more experience (or actions here like posts, etc.).

OK found it. Trophies/Points list:

I think you get points by posting and by the reactions.
