One thing I still don’t understand is if upvotes are per instance or collective. If we had a karma system, it would be very open to abuse with instances popping up to farm.
I wonder what kind of metrics could make lemmy/fediverse stand out. Obviously the discussions are the point, but karma was a psychological motivator.
Yes, it’s already a thing but many apps don’t show it. Try the voyager PWA to see yours.
