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?

    The Alexandrite front end for Lemmy has a feature called “Vibe Check” that shows a user’s positive or negative score in each community they post within. It is a nice check for spotting trolls quickly, or even if a person “trolls” in one community but not others. If you scroll down their profile past around the first ~30 comments/posts (Alexandrite is infinite scrolling), it will score the vibe check on however many comments/posts are loaded which is usually 100 loaded when past this ~30 mark.

        You must be logged in. I think it is incorporating the user’s block list but there may be other factors. I have not looked at the code used to implement the feature.

      Wow, Alexandrite is really good now! I wish I could try that Vibe Check tool, but it only appears when logged in, and I’m an Mbin user.
