Thoughts on features to boost intent for posting more?

Like a karma system of that other forum website.

I currently miss a point system to motivate me that shows people via my profile how much I could help by posting/commenting. There’s no system to create such feedback currently on Lemmy.

Are there statements by the creators of this platform about that?

    Karma? The system that encouraged people to make the most milquetoast posts to appeal as many users as possible? Karma farming heavily reduced quality on reddit.

    No thank you. We need some sort of encouragement but karma is not it.
