It actually seems to be calculated internally but only the instance host can see it, i think it is there to help with moderation or some other technical reason
Interestingly, the internally calculated value (which can be fetched using the API) differs quite a lot from the actual value that you get when you sum up the scores of all posts and comments. For example, my comment score is ~20x as high as what the API reports.
I made a tampermonkey script that calculates and displays your “karma” next to your username: https://feddit.de/post/1185964
(It only works for your own karma, doesn’t show anyone else’s karma, and it also only shows it to you. So no karma farming encouraged.)
I made it even worse, here’s a tampermonkey script I made, that automatically calculates and displays your karma next to your username: https://feddit.de/post/1185964
There’s no karma here! Free yourself from this mind prison!
There’s got to be karma in here somewhere!

Oh, so it is accessible by the api i see, interesting
In your case: https://sh.itjust.works/api/v3/user?username=Quills
person_view -> counts -> post_score and comment_score.
But as I said, these values are inaccurate.

Oh yeah, people can do it themselves too cuz of the open nature of the software i suppose
