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?

    Wut?

    Are you expecting, like, a bidding war or something?

      Gamification, makes people addicted. Its fake points nobody cares about. But its still a massive psychologic lever. I ofc see the problems of a karma system, but theres just so many content holes in my current browsing experiences of for example links or media posts in communities that work like that.

      Generally people browse more and chatch up with such content. And even question-posts often have like double digit votes but not even one comment. Thats where Im coming from
