I think a lot of people will need to have this critical feature in lemmy, can you upvote this post so we can restore this feature

    I assume you’re talking about tracking score on profiles ala Reddit? There’s nothing stopping anyone from making their own client or modifying lemmy-ui to do that if someone really cares.

    But honestly, Lemmy has enough bots posting stuff that I wouldn’t want to bring more incentive for karma farming in.

      Or just like a *monkey script to bake it into the native web interface.

      The karma culture is more due to those who vote on stuff and we already have a vibrant shitposting culture in the meme sections.

      I don’t quite see how a personal total karma overview would change that, if anything I believe it’s an incentive to post a lot, i.e. providing content. It’s the community that deems if it’s upvoted or not and we get a low-quality culture.
