Any chance you could make the adding reputation more traditional in terms of forum like, such as a dropdown list
Positive (+3)
Positive (+2)
Positive (+1) --- all positives would be green
Neutral ----- which is the default value, grey
Negative (-1) --- all negative options would be red
Negative (-2)
Negative (-3)
Example:
Positive (+3)
Positive (+2)
Positive (+1) --- all positives would be green
Neutral ----- which is the default value, grey
Negative (-1) --- all negative options would be red
Negative (-2)
Negative (-3)
Example:

.if the user has a maximum score of 100? In the drop-down menu do 201 items? This is not very convenient

Possibly an option instead, for lower options? On traditional forums people generally have a maximum of 10 (IN MY FORUM experience)

.do you mean that when you set up a reaction, you also have a reputation?
Display both near the avatar and in the post-bit

Yes. Each reaction can contribute to (or deduct from) reputation points. Think of it as a basic multiplier (with positive/negative values) per reaction. On top of this you can contribute actual rep points that are weighted more. This would allow you to grow rep more holistically vs asking people to do something differently.

.as far as I know, the reputation in many forums is a separate thing, the exhibiting of which should be supported by something. And if it will depend on reactions, then this is not quite a reputation

It's definitely a separate thing but how you achieve it should factor in your current stature IMHO.
Adding a new workflow to give reputation to users will not get much traction on existing forums especially with an older audience. People don't like to click new things as you know if they're used to hitting like.
You can even simplify it to something like:
Likes-to-Posts Ratio × Total Likes = Rep Points
Now if I want to go out of my way and give someone an actual rep point I can and it'll be worth a lot more than a Like.
You can then allow admins to change those ratios. This would instantly give your seasoned members reps rather than dealing with complaints like I've been around for 50 years and I have a reputation of 0 suddenly.
These are just examples btw, you can use whatever ratios you want.
Simple contributors to consider:
User Defined x Likes
User Defined x No of Posts
User Defined x Threads
User Defined x Media
etc etc
I'm concerned that saying hey members you all have a reputation now and it's at 0 is going to be a negative experience for long timers on my forum. They will likely ignore it or get upset. Starting with an existing value that people are used to i.e. likes is a better spring board.
