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?

    Some instances disable downvotes. This is an important thing to consider for anything related to post/comment scores.

    Edit: I also fear that a karma system would encourage just sticking with the overall Lemmy, instance or community mainstream, more than it is now already the case with up/downvotes and how they affect the sorting of posts/comments.
